I agree, I figured out what worked good for my shelves and then folded depending on the size of fabric. I just cant see messing with a ruler or cardboard when its faster and easier once I figured out the best way to fold for where I wanted to put them. I also had extra shelves cut so that I didn't have to stack my fabric so high on the shelves plus this allows me to color separate them easier due to more shelves.
