Just think of jumpin into the fabric folding like jumping into a pile of fall leaves and how good it will feel to get it all raked up again.
I guess I missed something somewhere, but what are the comic boards and cake rounds? Are the pieces of cardboard or what?
Yeah! I'm confused. And I agree with someone else's post on here, where did you find this info on what to get and how to organize it? What are the comic boards? Anyways....
You have alot of people who need to see what you are doing and how this is going to work out. We want to see the comic boards and cake rounds, and what are all the paper clips for???
You need to get started so we can see the pictures. Push, nudge, push.
All those things are things others have used to get their stash in order. Must be spring cleaning time.
The cake boards are 13 x 19 coated corrugated cardboard that can be cut just like the coloroplast plastic boards. They come from joanns for about $5.99 each set of 6 or on sale or coupon for $3.60 a set of 6. Cut into 4 boards each you get 24 for that $3.60.
Some use the comic book boards. I asked in the hobby shop and they told me about the comic book store! They are a flat acid free cardboard that are 7 x 10.5. Cut in half 7 x 5.25. A good size for a yard or less of fabric that will stand up nicely. They can be used whole also. I think they are a little heavier than poster board and cost $8 for 100 or 200 cut in half. They just keep the fabric standing up like in the quilt store and not in a flat pile.
The plastic or coated paper clips just hold the fabric on the board and are much cheaper than bolt buddies. The plastic or vinyl keeps then from marking the fabric. The old entertainment center is just a big shelf unit.
All these things have been suggested by others getting their stash in order and I found them on my travels around town.
Do a search for stash organization and you will see lots of pictures.
Here's a good one with pictures.
