CAUTION....Comic book boards could damage your fabric
 
I am helping a friend organize her sewing room. We discussed using comic book boards to wrap her fabric stash. Well just tonight I went online to find them and found out they are not completely acid-free. They are coated on one side only. The sites even suggest that comic book collectors replace the boards as the coating degrades over time.

I now will advise my friend to use the 100% acid-free sign boards.

I'm so sorry to hear that. I just fold my fabrics over a ruler, then pull out the ruler and stack them.

Same here. And I don't display my fabric on open shelves. Don't want to risk fading or dusty fabric.

Same here, and I stand the folded fabric on edge in dresser drawers. Each drawer is arranged by color groups. When I open a drawer it's just like looking at a book shelf and I can see exactly what I've got.

I don't understand the reason for 'Boards' to fold fabrics!? I fold my fabric toward the salvages till its about 5 wide then take the long strip and fold it til its about 8 or 10 in. put it in My color Labeled clear drawers! and have more $$$ for fabrics! lol
Not like I need More fabric!!! just a Addiction!! I should open a Store!!
