Why value your stash
A serious stash is real money: quilters routinely inventory their sewing rooms for home insurance, and some carry a dedicated rider on the policy. A yard of quilting cotton weighs about 5.5 ounces, so a bathroom scale and this calculator get you a defensible estimate without unfolding a single bin.
For an actual claim you'll want photos and an itemized list, exactly what YardKeep's insurance report produces, but a value estimate is the right first step to decide whether the conversation with your agent is worth having.
Tired of re-measuring your stash?
