While great for keeping fabric neat, the acid in the wood will discolor the fabric over time. It was suggested on another thread to use the material that the political signs are made from, a plactic-y cardboard. (BTW, I cut plexi to be 9" then wrapped the fabric ~ each fold is 1/4 yard, I slip the plexi out for the next fabric)
