Walmart will give the fabric boards to you free if you ask nicely. I've also save the heavy cardboard rollers out of the foil and different wax paper boxes. Walmart also had a heavy cardboard roll they let me have. It was almost 6 ft. long. That was just yesterday. Also DH was getting ready to throw a box for one of his electronic toys. It had a heavy foamboard in it (18"). Confiscated it and saved the landfill! Quilters are the best recyclers!
