I've been folding my quilts on the bias for years. We learned to store linens folded like this in Home Ec class but everyone of my classmates already knew it because that was the way it was done at home. LOL

I went to catholic schools and didn't have home ec so never learned any of this stuff. I just thought it was a great pc of information to pass on. I liked it hope ya all do too!

I took home ec and it wasn't taught then to me. While I've seen it before, I'm glad for the refresher. Thanks for sharing.

Never heard that either. I have one antique quilt I will need to refold it. Thanks for the post.

Thank you so much for sharing this with us. I had heard of this before but completely forgot about it. Now I have saved this video and will definitely try this with my quilts. Thanks again.
