Wasn't there a thread on here that told how to use the various ruler size methods to fold your fabric consistently?
I want to fold mine to fit into the plastic containers so that they fit in it like file folders....if that makes sense. I have FQs, Charm Packs (only a few) and yardage...not more than 3 yards of any one cut.
Does anyone remember the thread?

How do you do your fabric. I went to help April, (MDD) last Sat. with her fabric so had to come home and do mine, it went from that to this, have lots more to do but so worth it. They fit in perfect now on the bookcases my son made for me.Now I can just pick what I need instead of having to pull it all off the shelf.

For part of my stash, I use a 4-drawer file cabinet, fold the pieces to fit the width of the drawer and stand them on edge like files. They are also sorted by color. If I had room, I'd try finding another cabinet @ a yd. sale. Had to resort to plastic bins made in file cabinet style. Works fine but seem to have them everywhere. Often wish I was back in my 9 room house. Oh, yeah, forgot---I'd have that much more to clean. That's almost a dirty word. LOL
