A Quick and Simple Cross Stitch Fabric Organizing Solution? 🙀 FINALLY!!!

[@mrsmiggins6435]

Great tutorial. You could put one side of the fabric inside the other so you don't need to use any pins, a bit worried about the pins, I think I'll use safety pins. Cos knowing my luck they'll go rusty or I'll prick myself😜. I found out about this when I started quilting but I folded it lengthways because of course the fabric was on the larger side. Thanks for showing this though. I've card left so will definitely be doing this storage method. Take care🤗

Comic book boards make great floss drops too, since they are heavier weight than normal cardstock, but can still go through a shape punch for forming the holes.

That’s too cool Erin. Erika’s sewing knowledge for the win. 🙌

Good morning, Erin! Thank you so much to you and Erika for this fabulous idea! I didn’t even know there was such a thing as comic book boards! 🙀😃 this is a great solution for storing my fabric. And your enthusiastic spirit makes this video so enjoyable and encouraging. I’m very thankful to all of you four girls for everything y’all share with us. Each of you bring your different gifts and talents to the table, and the end result is awesome videos! Thank you Erin, Erika, Jodi and Kristen! 👍🏼🥰 Meline

Just seen this video and guess what I’m going to be doing this weekend??? Thanks lovely girlies 💜

[@maureenlopez9266]

What a great idea! I know some people use those comic book boards as an inexpensive alternative to mounting boards. This might even be a great way for me to store some finished pieces that are waiting to be FFO-ed. Thanks for sharing!

[@vickipickstock69]

Ty Erin so much for this video Ihave taken foam board and cut it 7x10 and wropped mu fabric around foam board and used label from pk with size and fabric description and attach it to board it works great for my budget and put in plastic container Ty girls great job

[@the614stitcher]

When Erica said that, I was like, why didn't I think of that? Because I know quilters that store their fabric like that. The only other thing I'm going to add for the description is who the fabric is buy. Extra great tip. Thanks.

[@susandugan1742]

Thank you for sharing this awesome storage solution.

[@jodempsey3761]

Omg! That is perfect! I have so much fabric that is so disorganized! I then end up ordering more because I can't find what I need. Even though I know I have it "somewhere. 40 years of cross stitching plus a couple of inherited stash situations equals a lot of fabric stash. Thank you! Heading straight to Amazon to order now!

[@lynndorney7921]

Your fabric looks great! 🌈

[@pamkahmann3833]

Amazing! So simple, but I would have never thought of it!🙂 Thanks for sharing this.

[@lisarobinson9966]

FANTASTIC idea!!! I went straight to Amazon and ordered supplies. I have all my fabrics in a tub like yours but I have to flip through them to see them all. This is such a great way to see them all. LOVE it! Thanks for the video.

[@maryellenkinkel8525]

Loved this video! I have my fabric store than a different way, but to enjoy your new idea with you priceless

[@jenniebest5354]

I saw someone who cut hanging file folders along the fold and then wrapped fabric around that so they could hang in a file box. I think I prefer you method. It's so pretty. Love it in the colors.

[@carolineworkinprogress4911]

Brilliant!! Will save so much space!!

[@kris_cross_stitches5748]

Such a great idea, Erin. Thank you for sharing.😀

[@denisehenry3540]

I have comic book board for fabric, never thought about it using it for cross stitch fabric.... Thank you!!! Great suggestion Erica!

[@donaschlegel9717]

This idea is brilliant, thank you Erika & Erin!!

[@debng3210]

Great idea! I'll try this. I already use these comic boards as the backing for finishing ornaments, to do flat folds or small framed pieces. I usually glue 2 layers together, but individually or even glued together they are easy to cut to shape, and when you buy 100, there are lots to play with! Another plus is that they are acid free.

[@teresaboyer5707]

Wow. Game changer for sure!

[@gailsgoldenneedle4513]

Great 👍 video 💜yes those of us who have a “small quilt shop of fabric “ use this to store our fabrics. So happy for you ❣️and thank you for sharing this with all the stitching community!!

[@paulashattuck5983]

What a great idea. Thanks for sharing.

[@kathyeggleston1725]

Great job Erica and Erin!!!

[@loniwilliams4783]

So awesome thanks for sharing!

[@oliviaschneider6412]

Such a great idea!!

[@debbihendricks9920]

Love it!! am so on board with this one!!

[@SmilingDaisy_]

Hey Erin!!! I am looking to organize my fabric stash and was wondering if you were still using this method. Also if you had any other ideas and updates 2.5 years later. Thanks in advance!

[@erincaton1655]

AH!! I'm just seeing this comment! So, YES! I still use this. I don't use the t pins any more. They're kind of a lot to deal with. Other than that I still do this exact same thing and I love it. Highly recommend!

[@maryannjohnson5410]

Thanks for the video. I was just thinking I needed to do something different. I just ordered the supplies from Amazon.

[@themirrorimagestitcher]

Truly brilliant

[@patbarone4855]

That is just the best idea ever! Thank you for sharing!

[@paulinedutton8576]

Brilliant Erin, thank you

[@jeannedraper3288]

That is AWESOME ❣️❣️❣️

[@rosettagadson1762]

organizing my quilting and cross-stitch always makes me happy Nice Job

[@raggedygene1770]

Love this idea. I’ve been looking for a way to store fabric and this will be perfect!

[@LindaStitches]

Love the system! Someday I may rein in my collection… I have three bins that size, one with Aida, one with evenweaves and one with linens!

[@tracywest1759]

This is a great idea!!!

[@owlandgatorstitcher]

Thank you for sharing-a simple solution that is so useful.

[@one_crafty_nana3220]

Brilliant idea!! My fabric is stored like yours was - shoved in a tote. Off to order comic book boards! Thanks Erin and Erika!

[@lorrainebergstrom9391]

I love this organizational idea. Thanks for sharing this!

[@jenniferbonynge5899]

;0) Just now watched this oh-so-helpful episode, AWESOME! Thank you!

[@christinebarton8845]

Love it !!! Looks great :)

[@shinglespringsstitcher]

Love this!!!

[@anneleonas7813]

Congratulations! Organization helps so much!

[@sandycostello1302]

Thank you! I’ve heard of the boards for quilting fabric but haven’t used them. I will try it!!

[@pamripley4900]

OMG fabulous idea. Thank you 😊

[@SarahsStitchySpot]

Fabulous idea and I already have the comic book boards. Could you let me know the dimensions on the bin? Thanks so much for sharing!!!

[@AllisonNorris13]

This is soo awesome! I need to do something with my fabric!

[@paulinerowbury6907]

Excellent idea!

[@ThesotaStitcherShannonBromo]

This is so amazing! I’m working on doing this at this moment! #gamechanger 🤯

[@paulaarmstrong697]

Loved your organizing video. Can you tell me if we can order fabric straight from Jodi or do we have to go through Fire Poppies?

[@trudythomas7505]

Cool, great idea

[@lizsalas6998]

Love it thank w

[@bugnurse]

I have what is left of my quilting fabrics stored like this, now why did it not crosswalk my brain to do my XStitch fabric the same 😂🤦🏻‍♀️

[@martineboughey7542]

Brill👍 Thank you

[@loritheflyingcrossstitcher9157]

Erin, what size plastic storage bin did you use please?? Thanks 🥰

[@erincaton1655]

Great question! As soon as I posted it I thought somebody might ask this. It is 50x39x26 cm (32 L)

[@teresarickets4770]

Does Jodi sell her fabric

[@loriknight5904]

Did you pin through the cardboard (comic book board).?

[@erincaton1655]

Yes (or at least that's the attempt 🤣)

[@Kortneybennett]

Would you say those cards are thick enough to do finishing on too? Could be wayyyy cheaper than mat board

[@erincaton1655]

Someone on here said they put two together with glue and use them and it works perfectly! I will definitely be trying in the near future and will report back.

[@Kortneybennett]

@@erincaton1655 great! I will look forward to your review and will probably buy some as well! Very cheap alternative :)

[@gingergiant817]

Oh Erin, what I think you mean is that you don't have 100 pieces of fabric YET! You are livin'' the dream!

[@kanona0115]

I think I haven’t let myself organize mine because XS isn’t my main craft and I “didn’t have that much” I still don’t really but I NEEED to have it organized - it’s driving me nuts. My quilting and sewing stuff is very organized- now it’s my XS stuff’s turn!

[@patriciasimon9684]

Thanks for tip. You have enough room left to put the rest of the cardboard in the back.

[@alieceheebner3910]

Not to criticize but you can get more in the box if you alternate fabric on the left, fabric on the right just flip the side that you wrap and that you write on

[@erincaton1655]

Valid point! I'll keep it in mind if I ever end up with that much fabric!!

[@juliekaufman8635]

Love this!!!
