It sounds like a lot of you are in the same boat as me. Currently one is in the spare bedroom covered in plastic and the other is still in the box sitting under my frame, which is a real pain in the butt when needing to use it.
Get it out of the box and put it back in...UGG

I have a spare bathroom/laundry room next to my quilt studio (so customers have use of a bathroom). But I store my batting on end in the bathtub. When I need to cut it, I lay it across the washer and dryer and use the edge of the machines as my straight line to cut it. So far it's been working great that way and I don't have to worry about it getting all the dust on it from longarming and sewing.

Well, mine WAS covered in a garbage bag in the corner until my stinker kittens discovered it. Now they have been using it as a cat tower (they have a very nice one we made) and have chewed the bag, gotten hair all over the top of the batting and tuffted it all over from the climbing. Uuuuurrrrgggggg. I am still trying to think of a good way to protect it. There isn't a place to hang it until the oldest kids move out (in 4 years!).
