I recently spent three months wrapping my stash around comic boards. For those longer lengths (4 or more yds) I bought some foam core boards from U-Line. There are two benefits from buying some of the stronger boards. One, you can wrap those longer lengths, and two, the stronger boards when filled act as braces when you store your fabric on shelves like books. These two ideas have made knowing what I have and shopping in my stash pleasurable and not frustrating. I highly recommend this idea and yes, I found out about it from this board!
