    Besides lots of blades, I have found many neat things there to use in quilting, but the best (after the blades of course) is the plastic bin. My shelves are too deep to use the mini-bolt so I have put my mini-bolts sans cardboard in these bins that are easily removed from the shelf and all the fabric is visible. I get about 20 yards in one bin. And they are only $2.99 per bin.

    yep! My dad had them for nuts and bolts in his workshop. He bought me a few before he died. Love my tubs!

    I have a question. can you lay the fabrics down flat in the bins? I am going back and reading all the pages to see if you have already mentioned the measurements. Thank you in advance <wave>
