Thanks for the info - I'm going to look into these comic book boards. My stash could use some organizing!

Local stores selling comic books will often have comic book card. I did not think I had much stash but am nearly done my third pack using 2 at a time.

I got my comic book boards on amazon, they were like $10 for 100. I bought them along with a couple other items that qualified for free shipping so I didn't have to pay that.
I'm not really clipping the fabric to the board. When I have finished wrapping the fabric around the board I just use a straight pin to keep the end of fabric from unfolding. It's working for me for now.
I think with these I will be able to organinze and keep my fabric organized by color. Hard to do when it is lying flat. So far I have only had to use one board for each length of fabric but when I get to the longer peices I have I will probably want to stiffin it more with a second board.
I had read about these here on the qb and finally decided to see how they work. Work great.

I use comic boards too, I don't clip them, they seem to stay neat without. Have to say organising your stash on these boards is one of the most therapeutic things ever, lovely to see them all stacked and if you colour code them too, it's a joy to behold. Have to agree though I'm on my second pack of 100 hadn't realised I had so much fabric.

Fabric breeds during the quiet hours, and before you realize, the storage places are overcrowded!!

There has been a nice thread going on about the comic boards in the organization section. Here's the link:http://www.quiltingboard.com/mission...s-t179823.html

I have Amazon Prime. Everything you order from Amazon is free 2 day shipping, no minimum amount. Plus if you have a Kindle you can borrow books from Amazon free, or watch movie and tv shows on Roku or your computer. And there are special sales for Prime members. I order for my guild members and they give me $2 shipping per order. That more then pays for the Prime fee every year.

Hastings book stores carry them also. I don't put any more than 5 yards on mine and yes, you go through the boards in a hurry. Since I have my fabric laid out to fold...I measure it and use adding machiine tape to write the info on. That way you can have a long strip of paper and it doesn't get lose in the folds. I also put if the fabric has been washed or not. It sure saves a lot of time, just look at your strip of paper and you know how much fabric you have and if it needs a 'bath.' LOL I really like the boards, can get to what I want without a wrestling match(fabric always won) and it makes the sewing room look so much neater.
