I'm worried about them getting warped. Any suggestions on keeping them straight?

Wow, awesome idea!
Here is what I use to store mine. It's made out of pet screen.
If anyone is interested, I can post the directions.

I put the smaller ones in a pants hanger with a piece of that sticky shelf liner in between the hanger and the mats (so they don't slide out of the hanger). This is the kind of hanger that would clamp over the cuff end of a pair of pants. Then they hang in the closet. Actually, most of the time they are on my sewing table, but I can leave them out all the time. I've no pets or kids with sticky fingers around.

I bought one of my larger mats from JoAnn's. I asked them if they had the cardboard box that they received them in and they gave it to me. Lucky for me the shipment had arrived the day before so they still had it. I always slip my mat back inside the box and lean it against the wall in my closet. Works great for me!

I got the directions from an article in a quilting magazine. Can I scan it and post it here?
