Hi what is the best way to organize your stabilizers? Thanks! Suzanne

I keep mine in a wine rack.(I found it at a consignment shop for a very good price)The rolls of stabilizer fit in each slot. If they are in a container the I write the type on the end so I can identify it easier. Also I save the little pks of silicone that come in various products and drop them in my WSS bolts. (I live in a humid area). I store the bolts of stabilizer on the bottom shelf...Becky C

Thank you

If you have a place to hang, something like the picture below can easily be made using a wooden dowel rod or even a hanger.

Like this idea may have use it!

I always save the labels and put them inside the tube so I know what they are. Otherwise I store them in a cardboard file box under my table so all I have to bo is pull it out. Scraps I put in Ziplock bags with the kind written on the bag in magic marker. I wish I had room to hang them. This is simple but it works. Good luck !!

Like this idea Thanks so much Suzanne

My stabilisers and wss are all on rolls in a plastic basket. Left overs go in a drawer beside my sewing desk, for topping when stitching designs on towels etc. Helen

Thank you Suzanne

I have a system! I installed 1 track (of a 2 track shelving system) vertically beside my machine. It holds 15" and 12" supports (meant to hold shelves) and I slip the rolls over the supports. A 6' track will hold about 10 rolls, a few inches apart from each other (I have a large hoop so I wanted to hang the larger rolls for the 15" supports work great). You can still leave the wrappers inside, you could even write the type on the support if you wanted, but I don't want to HAVE to put them back in the right order. I am not THAT organized.

I just ran to the garage, grabbed a shelving 'standard' and put it up in my sewing room. I only had a 4 foot piece, yet I was able to get five huge rolls of stabilizer and four smaller ones on that amount of space. Thank you, Linda, that was a fantastic organizing idea that I had to immediately put into use.

Good idea thank you! Suzanne

I never thought of organizing them. I keep them all in one place and the only one thing I am concerned about that the labels stays with it.

Thanks Suzanne

Hummm. Right now mine are not orgainzed as I travel alot. The one thing of importance would be with the WSS. That needs to be kept in plastic bag to prevent moisture from getting to it. I keep the original wrapping that comes on the stabilizers tucked down inside the tube so at a glance I know which stabilizer I'm using. Hope this helps some.
