Day 10
ORGANIZE ACRYLIC
TEMPLATES AND RULERS
Keep your favorite rulers
and templates at the
ready by adding storage
for them to your work
space or cutting table.
Use a fi le folder or ruler
rack to store rulers on a
table. Or keep your work
space clear by utilizing a
pegboard or photo ledge to
store rulers on empty wall
space. See more ideas at

TACKLE FUSIBLES AND
INTERFACINGS
Many rolls of fusibles and
interfacings have packaging
that’s not easily reused
once opened. To contain
what you have, cut an empty
cardboard tube into 6"-long
sections. Slide a roll inside
each shortened tube and
mark on the tube what is
inside. Store the rolls on
a shelf or in a magazine
holder or wine rack.
Consider putting your most-
used roll on a paper towel
holder in your work space.Day 12
ORGANIZE YOUR DRAWERS
Drawers can quickly
become messy hiding
places. Use small
containers in drawers to
keep loose tools in place.
Choose felt or silicon
dividers to avoid damaging
drawers and tools. Save the
top drawer for your most-
used notions and corral
less frequently accessed
items, such as sewing
machine instructions
and accessories, in lower
drawers.Day 13
LABEL BATTING
If you save batting scraps
to use in future projects,
take the time to measure
each scrap, write the
measurements on a small
slip of paper, and safety-
pin the slip to the batting
scrap. This will save you
time down the road. If you
have batting scraps that
are too small to use in a
quilt, consider repurposing
them as dust cloths, stuffi ng
for a dog bed, or fi llers for
packages.HANG RULERS FROM ADHESIVE
