Sometimes I'm actually organized!

I needed my Golden Threads paper today, and when I found it, I thought hey! my storage method for this stuff is pretty darn cool! Any roll of quilty paper accessories (e.g., the Golden Threads paper, Triangles on a Roll, etc.) I store in one of those stretchy plastic mesh bags that you can buy fancy tomatoes in at the grocery store.




I just cut the paper label off and hand wash the bag--sometimes I leave the bottom seam of the bag in, sometimes I trim it open to make a tube--just depends on what I'm going to use it for. This mesh is soft and flexible and keeps the paper stuff from getting wrinkled or torn as well as keeping it neatly rolled. I also use these mesh bags to store my pieces of teflon film (which I buy for a great price at McMaster-Carr--great for pressing sheets for fusible applique).

Well, I'll be damned! I would have NEVER thought to use those! Now I want them for my heat and bond, my freezer paper, anything rolled up!!

Thanks!
