I have a very small laundry area (more of a large closet).
I am able to stand 4 yes 4! batting rolls alongside of the dryer. I keep large plastic bags on the bottom half in case of washer overflow and then another tied on from the top down to keep dust/lint from the ends.
In fact, I just finished up a roll and am wanting a roll of Quilters' Dream Wool! trying to save the money.
I love working from rolls...there is only one fold crease to mess with.
