    That is what I use, and I purchased it at Walmart. I put everything that either comes in a roll or can be rolled up. I haven't learned how to use my embroidery machine yet, so don't have many rolls of stabilizer, but I put my Heat N Bond type fusibles, my fusible applique sheets, the rubber-type shelf liner and rolls of paper in it. I haven't started labeling the pockets, yet, but will eventually get around to it.

    I buy the foam swimming noodles at the $ store for $1.00. I then cut to the length that I need for each kind of stabilizer, etc. Secure it with straight pins or rubberbands. I make a label with my labeler and add it to one end, so I know what each one is. Then I can stack them on top of my fabric cabinet or closet shelf. Works for me.

    Mine are rolled up, or in sheets. They're in the bottom drawer of an armoire(?sp).

    Thank you for all the great ideas! What to do with my stabilizers is a problem I have, also. I definitely need to work on some serious organizing in my sewing room this summer.

    Mine is a Round shoe holder that can have added section to, (from Walmart) that have in quilting room on plant hook. I also found some of the "slap braclets " and use them to write the name on and keep them rolled up. I found them at the "Oriental Trading" sales magazine.

    PVC pipe works well cut to length and glued together in a triangle to sit on a tabletop. Cardboard paper towel tubes would also work but not as sturdy.

    I have some long rolls. I got velcro straps and embroidered the names of the different stabilizers on muslin. I made "tubes" and slip whatever the type is over the adjustable straps. As the roll gets thinner I tighten the strap. I keep them all in a 2 drawer file cabinet. It's deep enough for the long rolls. I'm pretty much out of wall space in my sewing room. As I get and use different stablilizers i make new "tubes" and they're always labeled. (Max in Virginia)

    I had some extra foil paper holders that held 5-6 rolls. These are the kind you can attach to the interior side of a cabinet door style. Since I wasn't using them I attached them to a vacant wall I had. Use these only for the rolled stabilizers as I also have some on bolts and very large rolls (50 yd).
