I love using the comic boards. I have a max of about 4 yds on a board but as I read here I see that I could go up to 5 on a board. Usually if I buy 5 or more it is used right away for some reason. I guess for my stash I don't usually buy in larger quantities. Using the boards has made a real difference for me in my sewing room. I love walking up to the shelves and selecting instead of rummaging through tons of stuff.
