They are better than regular cardboard or core board because they are thinner yet stiff. They are 8 1/2 x 11 and I cut many in half so they measure 4 1/4 x 11. I use those for less than 2 yards. 2 to 3 yds. go on the 8 1/2 x 11 and I use quilt shop boards for more yardage than that. I fold the fabric selvedge to selvedge and then once more, and it just fits the boards. Some I stand on a bookcase shelf but the majority are stood on edge in plastic containers and I can see exactly what is there without disturbing it. I found that plain old bobby pins from the Dollar Tree work best for securing the fabric. I have a huge stash and it takes forever when you start, but its well worth the time and money. I now wrap my fabrics as soon as I get them so they won't get out of control again! I have them separated like someone else here said, by Christmas / holidays, some by colors, some like 30's prints, Civil War, and fruits and vege prints, etc.
