Thank you all so much! I am going snooping, see what I can find.

Folded fabric won't stand on end. The boards make it so easy to stand fabric on a shelf like a book. I can pull one fabric out and not have to move the other fabrics. I use rubber bands on the boards. I have had some fabrics on boards with bands for over five years and no marks from the bands but some say the bands will leave a mark after time. It may be what some bands are made from.

Shipping can be higher than the product or check around. If you live in a larger town, check out local comic book stores so you don't have to pay shipping or look for free shipping. Sometimes the cheapest price isn't.

Check out the local comic book shops or Card/gaming shops. The Comic boards are VERY inexpensive and come in 3 different sizes. They are also Certified Acid Free. You can get a 100 board pack for about $10.00. They are way thinner that the plastic boards that Alaskasunshine had a tute for and so take up much less room as well. They also keep you from stretching your fabric tight on them thus keeping it square. And remember as an acid free certified product, you won't have any problems with discoloration. Hope this helps. If you can't find them shoot me a PM and I have a few places close to me that carry them.
:cool: |
Walmart will give the fabric boards to you free if you ask nicely. I've also save the heavy cardboard rollers out of the foil and different wax paper boxes. Walmart also had a heavy cardboard roll they let me have. It was almost 6 ft. long. That was just yesterday. Also DH was getting ready to throw a box for one of his electronic toys. It had a heavy foamboard in it (18"). Confiscated it and saved the landfill! Quilters are the best recyclers!

I'm even cheaper...ahem, I'm frugal. I don't use comic boards. I feel I don't need them. I fold my fabric to fit the height of the shelf it's being placed into. If you have enough, you don't need comic boards or the cardboard from the fabric stores. They take up space that could be used by your fabric! Good luck!
