I have just started quilting. So this is perfect to help me start off organized.

I'm happy to hear you are starting to quilt. My recommendation is that you don't over buy fabric. It's so easy to do and there will always be something new out. My best regards.

Several good ideas and I hope to get started today. Next I need help with the extra squares, strips and funky sized pieces that accumulate!!

Fabulous fabric choices of patterns and colors. ❤ Great video

I started yesterday by moving some Jelly Rolls, FQs ( in sealed pkg's), 10 in sq's, charm sq's to a lower cupboard. I pressed fabrics that are 1-3 yds, to get fabric out of guest room. I will put these on boards then clean up the mess the painter left in the middle of sewing room floor. I am making progress. Never enough Fabric, always buy more!

Thank you so much for sharing this! Love a way to keep things consistent among different cuts of fabric.

Lovely. I was just using Amazon boxes cut down but I can now see they are not acid free for long term storage. ❤

Thanks for sharing. It was very helpful. Regards from Mexico City 🇲🇽

Thank you for the very helpful tips.

If any paper is not for sure acid free, if it’s sturdy it can be lightly misted with baking soda or washing soda water to dampen and then iron dry or dry in a flower press to neutralize any acid remaining in the paper

great video im going to try refolding my stash

How to organize fabric that is shy of a FQ but not yet scrap-size

I see The Ghastlies. Love their fabric

Thank you so much! I have fabric crammed haphazardly in so many bins that sewing is often frustrating (therefore I don't do it). This is exactly what I needed to jump start creating a more organized stash for sewing!!!

Very nice!

Very helpful thanks

0:20 how do you fold less than a FQ? Let’s say you’ve cut out a 5x5 square?

Thank you! Great video, I’ve now refolded my fat quarters, on to fold the rest of my stash. I’m curious, what are those clear containers you’re using for the fat quarters and half yards (or meters, in my case 😉)

Thanks! Glad you like it, and I hope you’re having fun folding! There’s a link to the containers in the video description and towards the end of the blog post :) They sell out fast, so grab some right when you see them!

Any recommendations for folding a quarter yard, cut on width of fabric?

Enjoyed your ideas. Do you store your fabric according to texture. Thank you.

Yes, I store them first based on substrate (linen, quilting cotton, double gauze, etc...) then by color.

I am getting ready to start officially organizing and storing my fabric in my new designed ,cabinets made for my sewing room. My concern is really how to store my FQs, layer cakes, charm sqs, jelly rolls in my new cabinets, drawers. Before, my FQs were in shoe divider cupboards by color and flat cottons in one, batiks in another. Now there is no room for those, and they do not fit with the Alderwood of my cabinets and drawers. What is the best way to store these pre cuts? I am thinking of just putting them in the larger lower cupboards.

What were the names you used for the boards you used? And what sizes are they?

Thanks for the tips! Where did you buy your clear, plastic bins? or what are the dimensions of the bins?

Glad you liked it! There’s a link to the bins in the video description, and towards the end of the blog post that goes with the video. They sell out fast, but they always restock!

The link for the bins takes you to a two section bin. On your video I see at least a 4 section bin. What is the link for those bins? It would be nice to know the dimension for the bins and how many sections are within. It is puzzling when the link takes you to a product not quite the same. Thanks, any insight you can give is appreciated.

Hi! When you go to the link, all you have to do is click the bottom under size that says “12 x 12 x 4” and it shows the four compartment size. Then you can purchase it! The company sells out sometimes, so if it’s out of stock, keep checking!

What size storage containers do you use?

It’s hard to see that pocket with the lightest of fabrics! But head to the blog post for some close up pictures that will help you be able to see the tidy tuck pocket better :)
