I feel like I'm flooding this forum with my upholstery/soft furnishing related questions
So I've finally got hold of/gifted some fabric by the metre to play with. It's 140cm wide in a 5metre roll at the moment and I'm wondering how you guys store your fabric like this (especially as you get more)? I'm guessing it's sold in a roll to stop any creases and for ease as it comes off a bigger roll, but I really don't have space for something that long ideally!
Is there a better way that I can store it, even if it was just halved to 70cm it would be a lot easier, but I don't want to make life harder for myself if folding and putting creases into the fabric will make more work for me in the future.
So my question... if I unroll it and fold it into a smaller size, do I need to watch out for creases or anything that will make more work in future? Are there any good techniques/ideas I should know about to make storing fabrics easier? Maybe a way I can stack them rather than store it in a roll?
I assume when you buy fabric online it doesn't get shipped in a long roll like this, so there must be a way to fold it nicely?
Thanks as always for your help and advice
