Does anyone have good ideas on how to store a lot of cross stitch books/leaflets and save space?

A binder might be a good idea but I don't want to hole punch anything but I want to have everything together somehow.

I use plastic sheet protectors to keep my charts clean and neat while I am stitching with them, although usually I will make a working copy of the original pattern so I can fold it up to where I am working. When I am done, I store my stitched charts, the cover sheet and if I stitch with a kit, any excess threads, in the page protector in a binder. If I stitch from a leaflet or pattern, the extra threads go back in my stash.

You can use several binders to group charts by category or in chronological order of how you finish them. The sheet protectors keep the charts neat and there's no holes punched in them. Plus you can either use the cover page or take a snapshot to slide in the sheet protector with the chart so you can flip through quickly to find what you are looking for.

For things I haven't worked on yet, I find that a shallow, plastic underbed storage box is a great solution. They're not so deep that I have to dig through them to find what I am looking for, but all my charts and fabrics lie flat and neat and the plastic bins help keep them clean and dust free until i am ready to use them. Plus they slide out of the way nicely under the bed.
