Mom and I just re-organized but we found some posterboard at the dollar store. I got about 3 big ones and 4 little ones out of each sheet to use as fabric bolts.We had tons of fabric. After organizing it made our stash look smaller. ( guess we will have to go hit the fabric shops for a few days..LOL).So, I guess what I am trying to say is, Yes it does give you more room on your shelves.I'll see if I can find a picture and show you. Some boards have up to 6 or 7 yards on them.

I purchased a set recently, loved them, and have since ordered two more sets. It's so much easier and neater when pulling out the fabrics. My fabrics were set up like yours, but it was always difficult to keep it looking that way after pulling out a few fabrics and getting them back in. I really like the boards, however it really is a matter of preference. Yours looks great as is; the boards just make it a bit easier and neater for me.

Don't know about the boards. I don't use them. My thought is also that you could not get as much fabric on a shelf. Mine is folded nice and neat and can easily see what's there. Your shelf looks that way too. I can't see, for myself, spending that kind of time, or money to wrap my thousands of yards of fabric on boards.

What is the ruler-fold technique?

I love quilting gadgets but try to justify that they really do help me. I just don't get the boards. Seems like a needless expense. I, too, fold my fabric around a 6" ruler and they are beautifully stacked in my cabinet...Save the money...buy more fabric.

I don't need more fabric. I need the fabric I do have to be more accessible. I can pull a mini bolt of fabric out of the shelf and not disturb any of the other fabrics on the shelf. That's very nice.
