I wonder if cardboard is less slippery than acrylic, too. Lots of people have slipping issues. I need the acrylic because I'm pretty unsteady on my feet. I'd end up crumpling cardboard up. I do like your initiative.
Can't help you out, Debo. Hopefully someone else will come along shortly.
I only use the cardboard when I'm trimming my triangle squares after they've been sewn, pressed opened and pressed again. I hold the fabric and cardboard together and while holding it trim with small very sharp pointy scissors. The cardboard corners have been removed and the center lpenciled line is marked so I can match up the seams on both sides at the same time. I will take some photos and show you after I get some squares done.
