Folding Fabric
#4
I do the same, only I fold selvage to selvage and then half again and use my 6x14 ruler to roll it on, it folds really nicely.

After folding salvage to salvage, when you say you fold it in half again, is that bringing the raw edges together or the folded edge to the salvage? Did I explain my question right?

Yes your width will be about 11 inches. 44 in half 22 in half 11. And then start rolling on your ruler makes a really nice display for fabric.

Hmmm, this is an interesting thread!
I usually start by folding my fabric selvedge to selvedge and straighten the grain as I do so. After that, it's totally random.
I do try to not re-fold along the same lines, though, as I've heard that's a no-no.

I am putting my fabric into plastic stackable drawers. When you have 2 yards of fabric, do you cut it into 1 yards and then fold it?
