It adds up when you start thinking about it. I thought about buying some of the other ideas mentioned but I just really didn't want to spend the time cutting them to size. This just works for me.
I don't have experience with Polar Notions but I agree totally with you regarding comic boards. in my experience they have worked beyond my expectations. I fold 2+ yards and can get up to 6 yards easily on a board...someone suggested using 2 boards for larger yardage.

I have to admit we live in a low humidity area so my experience with comic boards is prefaced on that should humidity be a concern.
