I don't use foam boards. I have a tall bookcase and have found a way to fold the fabric that fits the shelves really nice. I don't stack them too high so that first of all when I want something at the bottom I don't have t go down too far and mess things up plus the way I do it allows me to sort it better; like blue solids separetly from blue prints, etc. I took one of the removable shelves from the case and went to the hardware store and had them to cut me some more shelves and then bought the little spokes that fit into the holes to hold the shelves so that I have more shelves which allows for better organization. I have a very large clear plastci zip up bag that came with my comforter in it that I keep all of my Christmas fabric in since it doesn't have to be seen all yr long. I have another smaller one that has the other holiday fabric in. Then I have a skinny tall bookcase that I put FQ and smaller pieces of fabric on. I have found out that when I had the fabric in totes that I forgot what I had so would buy more when I didn't need to. Plus, some of the fabric I got for a particular project but when it was stored out of site it really was out of mind. I have to be able to see my fabric. Now I do have all of my civil war fabric in totes on another shelf but I only use it for Civil war quilts at this time. I also have the large cube bookcases from Walmarts that you can get the canvas totes to put in; I have these stacked 2 high (I have 4 of them) and with 9 shelves each that is a large unit. Some of them I have thread in; some have projects in (those I take a picture of and put on the outside of tote so that I don't forget) others have other things. I'm still organizing but I think it'll be like my embroidery designs on my pc; I'll be forever reorganizing as a new idea hits. I think the boards would take up more space and I'm not like some on here that buys bolts of fabric or even lots of yards of it at a time.
