I love my fabric on the comic boards. I have just ordered some for my sister and we will begin the process of doing her closet the same way. I did notice that the foam core boards you buy at the dollar store are way thicker then the comic boards so would take up more space. I use those for large yardage of fabric like 5 or more but use the comic boards for everything else. It really does make it easier to see what fabrics you have versus just folding it up.
