I have a very small sewing room and my stabilizers were always jumbled up. My solution was to buy a 24-pocket, over-the-door heavy duty shoe organizer.
I simply cut pieces of felt to place under the medal hangers at the top of the door to prevent it from scratching the door frame.
My new stabilizer organizer has a new life now and is perfect for storing the stabilizers upright in a very organized manner. When the door is open, the stabilizers are against the wall, out of the way, off the floor or shelves, and never jumbled up again.
Yay! I’m in a small space too and this is perfect! Thanks so much for sharing!

My method takes little space, too. I purchased wire bins from storesupply.com and assembled them with opening facing out. They are 14″ x 14″ and can be stacked. Mine are 5 high. I hooked them to the wall at the top for safety. Lots of storage on a 14 x 14 footprint.

I had the same problem with storing my stabilizers, except I had mine piled into a box that sat ont he floor. What I did was to purchase a shoe organizer (like shelves) and it provides tons of space to organize my stabilizer by type and size. A picture of it and other storage solutions can be seen on my blog: http://threadstofabric.blogspot.com

Like the shoe organizer idea for the stablizer. Plan on using it. Thanks
