I have fabric that is on carboard and and has been for several years (lets just say 10 and call it good) I unwraped one of the bolts and looked at the fabric.. no problems. I pressed the fabric.. no problems. Then I washed that piece of fabric in hot water.. again, no problems. I just can't understand why so many are rushing to spend money on these boards.
I also hang anything over 1 yard and anything over 4 goes on the bolts.
Check out the pictures of my stash and you can see, I have a few yards...
