I realized I made a mistake when typing the prices!!! Actually the price for
creating a pattern is much lower - $10 is not per one square centimeter, but
per 1 x 1 cm. So a 5x5 pattern would cost 5*$10 = $50.
If the pattern is a rectangle, you take it as if it were a square by using the

I have also used large plastic tubs for over 30 years with no ill effects.
I numbered each tub and put a sample of each fabric in a baggie with a list
of what was in the tub. This has worked for me. I agree with Dawn about
not leaving in pins, rubber bands, etc. but otherwise I see no problem

See-through lockable plastic tubs may be the go, I use 55 to 70 litre size --
