Where do you keep your ironed fabric while you are cutting?
I need help. I don't know where to keep my ironed fabric while I cut. For my latest project I had nine one yard pieces of fabric that I was cutting from and I kept them drapped over my ironing board while I was cutting my pieces but I'm wondering if there is a better solution. I'm curious about how/where everyone keeps their ironed fabric while they are cutting.
Do you iron all your fabric then cut (this is what I do)? Do you just iron what you need as you are cutting? Is there a better way? |
I starch and iron one piece, cut what I need from it, and then go on to the next piece.

I iron all my fabric at once then cut. I bought 2 4' tables. One I use to lay out all the ironed fabric and the other one is used for all the cut pieces.

I got an extra tall quilt rack at the Salvation army for under $5. I iron a piece then lay it on the frame. I like to iron everything then cut everything.

I lay them out on the dining room table if I think I will get to the cutting soon. If not I fold lengths of ironed fabric in half length-wise over a wooden hangar and hang it in a spare closet.

I starch my fabric, iron it, and lay it on one end of my large cutting table. Then, I cut the fabric in the order listed on the pattern. As I cut, I label and store cut pieces in plastic zip lock bags. Since I will quickly sew the pieces, they are in the plastic bags for a week or less.
