Yes, you can get more on shelves. I ordered some of the boards from Cotilde and then when I re-read the original post I realized she had used sign board, but my husband and I figured there is not a great deal of difference in cost. But, I now have one whole shelf of fabric wrapped and stored and it looks great! Thanks so much for this idea.

just a weee lil hint for everyone. during election time most of the signs are made out of can you guess///// sign board and they are free... After the election Y'all.

What kind of material are you using to wrap the fabric? It looks like posterboard, but just wanted to check.

Thanks so much for the pictures. Could you give more information on the folding board material. I know you mention "sign board", but I am not sure what material to use to make the folding boards.

This is a VERY GOOD point. Thanks for the reminder.

be careful using the signs that have lettering on it.....it could damage your fabric

I have seen the clips before, like the one that holds my garage door opener to the visor. Where do you buy these?

We have old foam boards at work...I was going to throw them out. Thanks for posting this...now I will be bring them home and use them for my fabric.

That's another project I need to do when I get a chance. Thanks for posting pictures, your sewing room looks awesome!
