Hi, I tried your attachment for the spreadsheet calculations,however, it did not work. I would very much appreciate you sending me the spreadsheet by separate email. I want very much to get my sewing room organized and I have tried all kinds of ways to store my fabric. I really like what I am seeing here with this method; it looks wonderful. Thanks so much for your spreadsheet.

I bought Comic Book Boards at amazon.com, 100 of them, 6 3/4" X 10 1/2", for about $10 total. I cut them in half for the smaller pieces and it works perfectly. They're acid free, waaaaay cheaper and produce the same results.

I had seen your tutorial awhile ago..and thought it to be a great and neat idea. My stash, which I've been working on for about 3 years, was forgotten because the material has been "hidden" in a number of places..So...After seeing your tutorial a 2nd or 3rd time I just started folding fat quarters first...they look beautiful! And then folded larger material on a bigger board. I didn't want to cut cardboard for all the bigger ones and I was at a standstill for a couple days. My husband and I were at the grocery store. I saw one of the employees stocking yogert. The board the yogert sits on before putting it on the shelf is wonderful and a great size. So..I got about 25 of them then...have gone back for more. The 2nd time I got about 12. Yesterday I wanted to see if I could get a couple more altho no one was stocking yogert.
Anyway...long story altho your tutorial is great and goty my mind going...and I love your nice, neat stash Thank you

Hello dear alaskasunshine
I just love your post but I am having a terrible time trying to find 48x96 boards with out paying a ton for shipping. Our Home depot has them but they are white on one side and black on the other I believe and they are 4mm. Would this matter as far as keeping my material safe.
Would 18x 24" boards work and was your board you bought 2mm,3mm or 4mm
