OH, your stash looks so neat and tidy. I'd let you and your inspector come and straighten up my mess of a stash anytime.

What are comic book boards, or did I miss it somewhere?

Looks great. I am kinda hoping mine shrinks down that much. This will give me a chance to weed out some fabric too. I wish there were a way to get something to stick on the fabric for yardage. I would write where I couldn't see it knowing me. I just received my comic boards in the mail today.I thought they seemed light and bendy but I guess its not an issue once you get the fabric on. I at one time, started using foam board but got tired of cutting it so figured since so many others use these I would try it.

Comic book boards are what collectors use to store their collectible comic books alongwith a plastic bag to protect them during storage. They are acid free. I ordered mine from Amazon, but if you have a comic book store nearby you might be able to get them there because shipping was high. I bought the silver size.

I bought the comic book boards and they are sitting in my closet on top of my stash. I just have to find a day to work on this. At this point, I have stash in so many places that I don't know what I have. I love how they look all lined up like your own little fabric store.
