I buy my batting by the bolt so had to find a better place to put it for use. Since my sewing room is in the basement and my rafters above are open to me I decided to add brackets and a pole to hang the batting above my cutting table. I also keep a pair of clamps to hold my very long metal ruler to the cutting table for when I go to cut the batting. My cutting table is 4 x 8 so I can't cut it across from one side..........reason for the clamps to keep the ruler from moving on me. Here's pics of my setup.
