Joannes just gave me 15 which I am cutting down smaller to fit on my shelves. I Googled "corrugated plastic" and you can buy 48 48"x96" sheets for $33.00. I think we figured out we could get 6 to 8 sheets out of it depending on what size I wanted. They came in clear and colors. I like the idea of free however and since the fabric store uses them, they should be safe. Another thought is to cut down the priority boxes from USPS. They are a little lighter than the fabric boxes and may not take up as much room. Good luck. I know I want to get my fabric out of the plastic boxes and organized so I know what I have. Take care.

Well, I hit the mother lode at my LQS this afternoon. As I was having them cut me some fabric, I asked if they had any of those empty cardboard things. They all looked at each other and said "Gosh, yes!" The owner then took me to their dumpster where I scarfed up handfuls as shown below. Oh, boy! I'm happy! :D

Hello Eddie,
Those are nice but the way I look at it I would need 2 x's the space to store fabris for the thickness of the http://www.thefabricorganizer.com/
Hope I can say this so you can see what I am trying to tell you...
Fold fab just like you get it S to Sdraped over cutting tabl or ironing board.
Take your 8.5 x 24 in ruller and start rolling. ( have byt this time already washed and pressed the fab and the S's are off)
when all rolled pull ruller 1/2 way out and fold in half.
Stack on the shelfs, by colors for kind or whatever.... now this is a great trick. When you want one lower in the stack put the ruller in just above it and hold up a bit and pull it out. You can put it back the same way. It works so great.....Hope this helps.
