Basic Quilt Care Now Available: Museum Quality Archival Acid Free Tissue Paper One package is enough to store a bed-sized quilt or a wedding gown with plenty allowed for crumple/padding. This quality and very large size sheets are very difficult to find. Please Note: If your Guild is interested in quantity discounts on this tissue, Tips for Using Tissue and Quilt Storage BEST ARCHIVAL TISSUE The tissue I supply for you is: - White, 10# weight
This museum quality NONBUFFERED tissue is pH neutral and is SAFE FOR ALL MATERIALS. Use for all items that possibly contain matter of animal origin. This is the tissue of choice for older photographic prints and methods (including cyanotype, albumen and dye transfer). Use this tissue whenever you are unsure of the composition of items you are storing. For use with leather, silk, wool, fur, feathers and with any textiles, including those possibly dyed with vegetable dyes (some older quilts, linens and prints). This tissue is produced for conservator applications - truly archival quality. ACID AND LIGNIN FREE. NON-BUFFERED. Buffered tissue contains about 3% calcium carbonate which gives it a slightly "slick" look, but it can be barely discernable. Buffering is used to help provide some protection against acid migration when used with items which may contain synthetics such as nylon, polyester, or metals. It should NOT be used with any materials of animal origin. If you have a vintage fabric collection or quilt block collection, interleave this paper between fabric layers. Collectors find this tissue useful with their Doll Collections. I use smaller pieces to protect tiny fragile clothing, laces, etc. Layer tissue under skirts to help hold shape in storage. This is safe for all plant or animal fibers, so you can Safely use it with dolls with mohair or human hair or wool wigs, any type of clothing, kid bodies, horsehair stuffing, composition bodies, leather shoes, rubber bodies, etc. We used to say “Never store quilts in plastic”. The controversy continues. I have heard that some recent studies have deemed it safe to store textiles in containers made from Polypropylene or Polyethylene. (Medical and food plastics) Bonus: These containers provide protection from moisture and termites, If you want to read more about polymers or polymer fibers, here is a link to some information at a University of Southern Mississippi website: I still store most quilts in acid-free boxes, but a few newer ones are in
