- Trying a new way to store all my fabric. OUT of bins and closets and INTO a bookcase on mini-bolts where I can see it all at once. Lots of work, but worth it.

I really love how you talk in your video's. It feels as if I'm there in your studio, watching and being taught these new ideals. I'ed bet that anyone watching feels as if your talking straight to them. Thank you for sharing your ideals.
Instead of using pins I ordered the clips like you find on a folded garment like a tee, or dress shirt. it works well. love this video
I never comment but...
I looove your energy!!! Absolutely beautiful, wonderfully adorable, absolutely infectious.

Love binge watching your videos…so much fun and inspiration. Thank you Joy !!!
I'm in the process of organizing all my fabric and then started watching these videos while I did it and didn't even think of the pin problem because I didn't want to use up all my pins. I just put a rubber band around it!
Most rubber bands have a limited shelf-life. I've seen them break and stick to fabrics and other things where they were used. Recommend that you periodically inspect, especially after a year or so.
I work at Joanns. We put binder clips on a lot of our fabric that stand straight up and the clips hold the fabric on the bolt nice and neat! It might work better than pins!
I'm a retired teacher. I use my old binder clips to hold binding along quilt top edges after basting. They are great for keeping potato chip bags closed, too. Thanks for the tip!
What fun you are ... I am totally appreciating your energy; and thank you for sharing your brilliant solution.
Quill is an excellent company. Thank you so much for sharing your organizational format with us! God bless!
Love your owl quilt on the wall. Beautifully done.
You are a hoot and I really enjoy your videos!
The only thing I do differently Joy is to have a note with each fabric as to the yardage and if prewashed or not. Love your videos, Lois in Memphis
Lois Ketcham I mark mine with yardage, but never thought about noting if it's been washed. Great idea!
Fabulous idea! I can't wait to see it all pretty on the shelves! I would never show you my fabric storage I a, far too messy!! I love your blouse too, my mum would love that she adores chickens and has raised them from chicks! Have a blessed rest of your day Joy!
This is a great idea. I will be using this in my new studio, for fabric. Thanks Joy!
Just a tip: Dollar Tree sells those foam board sheets for only $1.
The smaller ones are 2 for a dollar, if you don't mind florescent yellow or pink, at the 99¢ Store. The suggestion to use the plastic clips from dress shirts from another commenter works for me too. Thanks for the video. 🌵
Perfect idea for space-efficient fabric storage.
Great Storage for fabric! Thanks for posting.
A rotary point cutter is used to “rock” into a tight space rather than drawing across a surface. You really need a sharp utility knife like a box cutter and use it with a ruler to make several shallow cuts to get a clean edge.
LOVE the owl quilt! They are so adorable!
You could wrap the last piece of fabric into itself on the board, on the diagonal. That way you don’t need to use any pins at all.
thank you for your idea.love your happy personality
Omgoodness that blue LCD fabric is amazing! Hope you make a sweet fitted shift dress. It's just beautiful against your face and color!!!! Try using a small piece of shelf liner (rubberish type) & painters tape it to the underside of the ruler.
nice plan! Love that material you folded up.
love the LC blue and white fabric.
Retractable blade knife ..you make a scratch on surface then put next to wall and panchayat knife from top to bottom following the line what you maked. This type of foam are used for isolation in building industry . Thicker and less bendable knife plates then better taking cuts . You can look for dry wall knife on Internet.
You can try plastic coated paper clips
Great idea. I would be careful storing the darks against the lights so tight up to each other. You wouldn't want the dark to bleed on the lights. I know you washed them first, but sometimes they still bleed. I had some fabric just folded in a pile and the two bottom ones transferred color. These were quilt shop expensive fabrics that were washed. Just a FYI.
They make clips called "bolt buddies" they are metal but the stores here in Florida use them and with our humidity they haven't rusted. I use the plastic covered large paper clips to to be certain.
wow! the blue and white louise cutting fabric woweee! that would be gorge! on you
You're such a hoot!
There are LOTS of already cut 'cardboard inserts' on Ebay. you get like 200 for $50 - 11x16
i use large plastic coated paper clips and clip it at the top
I’m in Australia we call that tool a Stanley knife, very versatile.
Joy! Your hair looks nice really today. Did you get it cut or do something different. I appreciate your videos. Thank you. 🤗
Edited to say…I realize now this was 2 years ago. 🤣
You're making miniature bolts. I love the idea. I have to find your follow up videos to see how it all turned out. One problem, I have with most shelving units is open ends.
It wouldn't work with open end shelving. This system is wonderful if you have the room.
I use thick cardboard but that how I store my fabric. I love love love that blue and white fabric. Please tell Diana to gift it to me. Along with a serger. 😀
Oh, Joy! These boards are on clearance right now at Quill's online shop!! Half price for a box of 25, if you need more!
I like your blouse, what pattern is that? Fresh, simple, and cool, just what I like.
I love this idea! So ..... gonna copy it :-) Thanks!
You are welcome.
You could use large plastic paper clips instead of pins to hold the fabric onto the bolts. :)
You are too cute!!! Glad I found your videos!!!
I think to secure your bolts of fabric you should use painters tape. It works great for me.
Use plastic paper clips or open the end of the fabric and slip it around the end...like a pillow case.
Try the plastic clips you use on clothes
Love the owl quilt in the back, do you have the pattern name?
Yes I do! You can find the owl pattern in my Amazon Store. Here is a link:

I cut foam with an electric carving knife. It may work.
To hold the fabric, wrap a 1/4" piece of elastic around the board and fabric. OR, lay down a pair of clean old pantyhose, cut off the legs. and cross-cut the legs into circular pieces and use that. Do not use pins--they will rust over time.
Luv yer turtle doves on yer blouse lol
LOL. I've always called this my "chicken blouse".
I use plastic coated paperclips
1. would a box cutter work? Make a cut, the pop/break on cut? 2. plastic coated large paperclips
And I love this storage idea!
you are amazing!
Lace makers use brass pins .for no rust
I enjoy your videos.. while watching this one.. I am so attracted to the OWL Quilt on your wall. Where could I get the pattern?
Google Darcy Ashton
thank you very much
HI Joy, do you have any washing fabrics tips? I surge my end together which makes it that helps when I was and iron but I have problems with the long pieces getting all twisted up. Please share any suggestions you have. I love your blog. You inspire me. I have started using sure-fit-designs. I am starting with pants but I want to get the dress one too.
I just wash them and cut off the strings. I only buy cottons and knits. Knits don't ravel.

You could use Pinking Shears!
Just Pink all the edges...
🤗
What I do is fan fold the long pieces and use a big safety pin on each side. They wash and dry well like this. Then take out the pins and store your favorite way.
ok, I'm 4 years late, but I use long bobby pins.
How thick is the foam core board?
1/4" to 3/8". Note very thick. The cheapest ones are easier to cut through.
your a genious!!!
A box cutter should work much easier.
Tried that first. I now use cheaper foam board from Walmart, and it is easy to cut through. YAY!
I bought mine at Dollar Tree. I used an old pair of scissors to score the board, then just snapped them. It worked fine.
yes pin will rust
chopsaw. Marty uses a chop saw for things like that. be careful! git jerry to chopsaw those for you. it's lickety split.
No such thing here. Jerry says use an electric knife. HUH! Doesn't sound like a good idea to me. I need Terry's muscles, and she is out of town.
Just watched another stash organizer solution video and she used plastic coated paper clips to hold the fabric. Try that instead.
You could wrap with saran wrap instead of using pins. Just saying.....😊
