When I fabric shop I always have a cart full of fabric bolts. I take a few at a time to the cutting table I ask if I can put the fabric back for them while they are cutting. I always fold my fabric myself as I use the boards. I take the boards with me. All I have to do is place the fabric on my shelf when I get home. And neatly folded fabric on the board doesn't look like a lot of fabric in the bag at all. LOL
