    Since I'm a longarm quilter, I store my rolls of batting under my machine. I had my husband add another long piece of pipe and a hanger so I can now hang 6 rolls if I wish to..right now there are three rolls under, one Hobb's Wool, one 90" x 30 yd roll of Hobb's 80/20 and one a 108" x 30 yd roll of Hobb's 80/20. I keep each roll covered by plastic drop cloths to insure they stay clean.

    i use what i need, then slide it back in the wrapping/box--and store it in the rafters of the basement. it's high enough to be out of the way, and safe and dry. big plus--the cat is too old to get up there and make a nest!

    That's a good point. I always hated the creases. I'll have to look into the 10-yard roll the next time I have a coupon. So many great ideas here with how to store it, too. AND, I had to laugh at the gal who stores her in the shower (or was it a garden tub??)! LOL :)

    In the Tub. Haha. My bathtub does not get used much, and I keep the rolls in their thick plastic bags just in case... Then I stand them on the ends and store them in the tub. That way, I have more room in the sewing room... :)

    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.
    XOXOXO

    Mine stands in a corner of the room. My house is a cape so I have slanted ceilings to deal with, not much wall space and no hanging from the ceiling.

    I have my roll standing in the corner of a spare bedroom behind the door...it is out of the way, and when I want to cut batting, I lay it on the bed and roll out. If I had more room, sure would like to store it in a different way, but it works at least for now.

    I have a shelf in my sewing room so the top shelf is used to store the batting. It's off the floor and out of the way. Good luck
