Fold around cardboard and then remove the cardboard for storing on your shelves. I fold my yard or longer lengths accordian style so that I can unfold just the amount I need without having to refold the whole thing again. :mrgreen:

I fold the fabric - large or small - over and over and over down the selvage - about one yard wide - and then safety pin the top and bottom selvages several times before I wash. I put the raw edge pieced to the inside for more security. Seems to work quite well with less raveling and NO twisting.....just a thought.

this is reply to washing fabric & tangles. if you snip off a 3/4" triangle from each corner.(4), the bias cut will not ravel across the fabric. if washing yards of one fabric, fold into layers 18" wide, pin on edges with lg safety pins, wash. it will take longer to dry, but will be managable.

You can always use the cardboard to fold the fabric, then remove the cardboard and store your fabric without it. I fold mine without cardboard so that there is a nice folded edge on the front and all pieces are the same size.
