Wasn't there a thread on here that told how to use the various ruler size methods to fold your fabric consistently?
I want to fold mine to fit into the plastic containers so that they fit in it like file folders....if that makes sense. I have FQs, Charm Packs (only a few) and yardage...not more than 3 yards of any one cut.
Does anyone remember the thread?

For part of my stash, I use a 4-drawer file cabinet, fold the pieces to fit the width of the drawer and stand them on edge like files. They are also sorted by color. If I had room, I'd try finding another cabinet @ a yd. sale. Had to resort to plastic bins made in file cabinet style. Works fine but seem to have them everywhere. Often wish I was back in my 9 room house. Oh, yeah, forgot---I'd have that much more to clean. That's almost a dirty word. LOL
