LOL Corky.. .it use to NOT be this way. a few months ago, I spent about a week-10 days reorganizing and refolding all my fabric to fit better and neatly on the shelves. It was a good experience to be able to better see what I had. So many pieces had disappeared under others when they were all stacked wide. I love the ease of access now that I can grab from the thinner double stacks in each cubby.
