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 use a wine rack that sits on a leftover table, but I have seen over the door shoe holders that would work also, like this http://www.bedbathandbeyond.com/stor...tegoryId=12213

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 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.

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).
