20 yds of fabric in a basket

Post by sewbug » Wed Jul 04, 2007 8:03 am

Yep, I got 10 two yard cuts of fabric in a small 12" x 5" basket. I've been folding my fabric using the long ruler method and it really makes a difference.

Here is site that has pics of the folding method.

Oh my gosh.... I was excited to get back home and sew, but now, I want to fold. What a sickness this community has become for me! A good sickness, though ;)

Thanks...I actually printed this out to post in my studio. What a great idea! Do you make house calls to help out?

Great idea. I actually went into my sewing room this morning and folded two baskets of fabric that way. It is so neat. Hope it stays that way.
