How about making a frame out of thin strips of wood and put the four sides together with screws and wingnuts so you are able to take it apart for storage. Then get some nice wide flannel backed vinyl. I bought some at Mardens for about $4.00 for a great big piece and it is wide!
When you assemble it, you could put thumb tacks along the top and bottom to hold it to the frame.
quote=IAmCatOwned]I have found it impossible to use directional fabric without a design board. However, I have no place where I can have a permanent one. I do have room to store one behind a double bookcase and then can just place in front of bookcase when in use. Problem is, I can't find stiff cardboard that comes larger than you would find for an appliance. Need suggestions that are roughly the same width at cardboard. Also, can I use any kind of white flannel for this board or is one kind better than another?
Thanks,
