My friends all thought I would go out & buy them, because I tend to be
pretty organized. However, those puppies are about 1/8 - 1/4" thick - do you know how much more room they take up on your shelf? Multiply that by the number you would need & it cuts down quite a bit on your storage space. No - I would never buy them. I have my fabric all folded exactly the same way, so it's easy to see what I have on my shelf. My bigger pieces (2 yards or more) I have folded differently & I have them in a different storage space. Nope - not going to give up all that storage space. You can't make me & that's my final word on it!

Seems to me a person could do much the same thing with cardboard (the
back-of-the-tablet weight) for a fraction of the cost, and wouldn't take up so much space.

Custom sizes can be had by anyone willing to measure and cut it. The big down-side is that either version of "bolt boards" would take up my limited precious stash space. By folding without bolt boards I can store more fabric in less space. Debra in VA See my quilts at http://community.webshots.com/user/debplayshere |

That's what I was thinking......maybe even cardstock.

Not buying them here either!! Could buy more fabric with the money NOT
spent on the fabric holders. If I want to look at it all neat, I'll go to the store (& buy more fabric while I'm there!) Nana finally getting her stash organized "Debra" wrote in message ...

I don't know if it would work for me or not but it surely does look pretty.
I really like the idea. Polly |

Howdy!
Often the fabric stores will give away those cardboard inserts from the bolts; many just put them in the trash anyway. One summer by kids gathered enough of them to build a fort in the dining room. Strange kids. Anyway, cutting that insert in half would give the same size as these store-bought models; a piece of masking tape will keep the fabric on there. However, I don't want my fabrics sitting out in the sunlight on shelves that way. I prefer to have them in the tubs (loosely sorted by color) in the dark, until I need them. So far, they do as I say. ;-D R/Sandy--not spending my time winding fabric onto cardboard...
