Kate at the Last Homely House sent me here too. I am obsessed with her and I knew this would be worthy of her recommendation. It truly was! Thank you so much - anxious now to learn more from your channel.
Hi Terry, I just came over from watching Kate (The Last Homely House) make one of your patterns and I am loving your channel. I look forward to trying the selvedge ideas and the 3 and half inch colourwash blocks. Thanks - Blue Mountains NSW AUST
I thought I was organized until I watched this tutorial! Going to redo my fabric now. You always have great ideas and you present them clearly. You sound so comfortable I feel like I am in the studio with a friend.😊
You are so sweet . It is amazing how a little organizing can make things so much better. I truely wish I could have you in the sewing room, but I can reach so many more people this way Happy organizing
A follower tipped this video because I was asking organization tips. I really love your idea to fold with the help of a ruler. I think even I can make neat folds like that! ( I do not enjoy folding 😜). Thanks for sharing
It’s fun to see someone folding fabric like I’ve been folding for years. I also have the mesh cubes, and yes, the plastic connectors are a pain! I wish I had thought of the zip ties🙂 Thanks for your very helpful videos!
Great idea for using the zip ties! I have the same metal dividers stacked with the plastic clips... not for long though, I will be changing them to zip ties now! Thank you very much!
I am so glad Kate sent us to you. I am afraid I have spent last 2 days binging on your tutorials. I just spent several days “organizing my scraps and yardage.I had folded all my fat quarters into the small fat quarter size and filled numerous drawers with them. You demonstrated folding with the six inch ruler and I decided your placement in the cubes on a shelf might work for me as a better way to store and I would have fewer fold lined to iron out. Did you do all your fat quarters that way? Was thinking I could separate the fat quarters out into one cube or section but am also worried about dust. Any hints?
You can use what ever you want I like the thicker 8 weight thread my favorite is Wonderfil razzel thread it is 8 weight rayon and I use a size 1 or 3 long darner needle or you can use a 12 weight thread with a size 5 darner
I get all my thrift sore but you can buy them on Amazon or Walmart even. They are usually put together with round plastic things I throw those out and zip tie them together
Great video. Quick and to the point while still showing exactly how to do something. I use the comic board method, but I think I might try this once I run out of the boards. :)
@@terryrowland398 The ruler way is a good method because anyone can use it. I do like the extra bit of sturdiness the boards provide, but it's definitely not necessary.
Someone measured space used before and after comic boards and the no boards 6" took much less overall space. I use 2 occasional cut foam boards to place above and below, if I want to remove a chunk or so of fabric to preview and put back. I don't have cool cubes that I can place the comic brd wrapped vertically like many beautiful pictures show. Just fyi!
If I cut some off of a yard… do I even up by slicing that leftover piece off making it squared off and cut into squares…? I’m very new at this quilting obsession and want (need) to get and stay organized! I hope this makes sense!
Great idea. One of the quilt shops near me uses an 8" wide ruler to fold fabric being purchased. How would you handle fabric that is 2 or more yards or a wide back?
Now I realize how easy it is for you to make the colourwash quilt!! :)) You have tons of fabric! 😍😍
Another reason to love that ruler! Thanks for the tip… ❤
You are welcome

It is such an easy way to do it and costs nothing but time. Enjoy looking at your stash with nice a neat folded fabric Margaret
Your creative, practical, and inspiring help is very appreciated. All your videos are great. Thank you
I actually used this method last year when I reorganized my sewing room, so much neater and I can see what I’ve got!

So Awesome 😎, ive never seen these techniques, doing tomorrow!!📐🛒🎯
Thanks
It really tidied up your fabric so you can see what you have
So much fabric! 😍clever storage idea. I have mine in totes at the moment, and it's a bit cumbersome digging out the "right" color at times.
I love to be able to see it at a glance but my shelves are not in any direct light
J'adore toutes vos astuces, si simples mais efficaces ❤
Love these Frond design fabrics, I have a serious investment in these!
I plan to make something with them someday lol

Yes this has been my way for years also I did not think others did not know until I took a pic of my fabrics and so many asked how I did it
Thank you, I am so messy, this is a wonderful solution
I feel so good when I tidy my area
Wow! That's a lot of fabric!
Thank you for all your tips, Terry!
You bet Sue
wow, great tip! never thought to use my ruler in this way!
Simple things
I’m really liking your videos. Thank you.
Thank you a simple thing that makes my fabric easier to see and use

Thanks Lori the zip ties work so well

I have my fabric in the basement so light is not a problem for my fabric I suppose it could get dusty but I have not noticed that
Brilliant! Thanks!
Thanks I have been doing this for a number of years
I love folding it this way 😉
I do this fold for my fabric using an 8" ruler and some bins on my shelves. Works well. Thank you.
The6” works for my wire deciders on my shelvesCynthia

cool! tfs! 😊
You are welcome
Just found you and loving your videos and wishing for more! Very interested in the Kantha technique. Hoping to see more on that.
I have explained how I made it what else do you need to know
I was wondering about the Kantha stitch. What size thread and needle do you use? Thank you.
You can use what ever you want I like the thicker 8 weight thread my favorite is Wonderfil razzel thread it is 8 weight rayon and I use a size 1 or 3 long darner needle or you can use a 12 weight thread with a size 5 darner
Terry Where did you purchase those metal crates in Canada. Wonderful videos thank you for sharing.
I get all my thrift sore but you can buy them on Amazon or Walmart even. They are usually put together with round plastic things I throw those out and zip tie them together
Great video. Quick and to the point while still showing exactly how to do something. I use the comic board method, but I think I might try this once I run out of the boards. :)
I like this because I do not need to buy the cardboards

Yes no money and it works well for me
Genius!!!😊
If I cut some off of a yard… do I even up by slicing that leftover piece off making it squared off and cut into squares…? I’m very new at this quilting obsession and want (need) to get and stay organized! I hope this makes sense!
No I would just fold the odd edge in and fold and set on your shelf
@@terryrowland398 THANK YOU!!! I started the organizing last night… it looks soooooo much better!
@@rosinyberg8747 I know it is worth the effort
Thanks 🙋♀️🇨🇦
Great idea. One of the quilt shops near me uses an 8" wide ruler to fold fabric being purchased. How would you handle fabric that is 2 or more yards or a wide back?
I do the same thing the folded edge tells me how much is in the piece of fabric the wider the edge the more yardage on the piece
Wow you have a lot of beautiful fabric. Thanks for the folding tip. What do you sew with all that fabric to get so many cool scraps?
Go over to my Instagram page and look at all my quilts and I am the lucky recipient of scraps from many different people
I just found you on IG and will be looking at all your beautiful colors
I’m about a month late to this video, dang it! Lol! I refolded my entire fabric stash without this helpful tip! 🤣
Well you will Likely need to refold it again one day and you will know what to do next time
I fold my fabric that way but my shelves are open wire with no dividers, where do you find the cubes? My piles tend to lean.
The cubes can be bought on Amazon I believe the come with the plastic circles that just clip together I use zip ties and buy all mine in thrift stores
