Dollar Tree Quilting Fabric Organization

This Dollar Tree quilting hack will take you to new levels of fabric organization LOVE! Turn that pile of yardage into neat "mini bolts" of fabric using foam board!

Good hack! It wouldn't bend like comic book boards sometimes do. Don't throw the small piece leftover from cutting the foam board. You can use it to wrap binding on. 🙂

I do the same only using my ruler. It’s easy to slide out and I don’t have that extra bulk. No to mention the added expense. I have too much fabric to stand on end. My shelves are deep enough to make two rows so I just stack mine. Folding fabric like this with a consistent size is so helpful to keep organized. Thanks for sharing. 👍

Lucy, Nice way of keeping my faric organize. Love Doller Tree! Ann

Great idea! The small leftover pieces could be used to wrap bias binding tape. Also, I had to max my volume to hear you. Thanks for posting.

It’s a great idea . I did the same thing and ordered comic boards off of amazon and used them.

What a great idea. I am going to try this for my stash of yards and half yards. Thank you.

Thanks. I folded the way you did around a ruler, pulled the ruler and then made a stack and put into my basket on the edge. This way I can see all the colors like you. I need to put my fabrics out of sight for some reason. I get weird seeing all my unused fabric all the time, lol. I think I love it too much.

Hey Lucy bird with that last small scrap of foam board don't throw it out, use it to wrap binding, lace etc.❤

[megegert]

What a smart idea! You are a very clever woman. Will definitely be doing this. So much nicer to see what you have. Thanks 😊

I tried this hack. Awesome. Thank you. I really appreciate and needed this.

I am going to use this. Mini bolts of fabric everywhere!

[suesheehan]

Great idea!
I use dh’s box cutter to cut foam boards to save rotary cutter blades, on an old cutting mat😁

[sharonfeatherstone]

This is great - I use magazine boards for mine and only have to fold the fabric in 1/2, rather than fold down that extra bit - works out perfect!

[baseballquilter]

Thank you for the tip. I will have to try this. I guess I'm off to Dollar Tree tomorrow.

[Deeloveshergoldies]

Great idea. I think if using newly bought fabrics I would write the length and put it on with the same pin for easy reference.

Comic boards work great too!! Perfect size and come in a large pack. I got them from Amazon.

Love this idea! I happen to have a foam board from the dollar store and will have to try this! Thank you 😊

[Vapaja]

This is a great hack! Thanks for sharing!!

You can buy comic boards on Amazon 100 for less than $9 and don’t have to cut anything to use them. I’ve gotten 200 for about $12 they work awesome and I’ve gotten over 8 yards of fabric on one. Easier and not much more for a whole lot less work!

This is an awesome idea! Thank you for the inspiration!
