It truly depends on where you're going to be storing your fabric. For me, the shelving in my closet is a bit smaller than the height of the comic book boards so I trimmed them to fit my closet and then folded my fabric selvedge to selvedge and then in thirds. I absolutely love having the mini bolts.

I like the idea of the little "bolts" of fabric standing on the shelf like books. When my sewing room "inherited" a cabinet from my old kitchen (got new cabintes!), I folded all of my fabrics around a ruler and made neat stacks. Now everytime I need a fabric I have to pull from the stacks and naturally they don't go back in as nicely as when they were stacked originally. I think I will invest in the comic book cards. Thanks for the nice tute and the nice pictures.

Ask your fabric supplier (LQS, JoAnn's, Hancock's) for any empty fabric bolts. They are happy to give you whatever they have (they just throw them away anyway). I take all that they offer, but prefer the 'flat' boards and just put the 'thicker' ones in the cardboard recycling. I then cut the flat ones into 7.5 " x 11.5" size and fold the fabric (on a king size bed for large amounts) as the blogspot mentioned above and stacked them vertically. I have folded as much as 8 yds on one board. I love the eye candy that you can achieve and how much more accessible my fabrics are at a glance. Have fun...it's addictive. Jinnie
