I buy the Wilton thick cake boards. I can get three from one board. The board is acid free and non toxic. At Walmart $4.50 per package 4 in a package (12 fabric boards). I use a flat flower head pin to hold the end fabic fold on the board.

Eddie, Do you have a Costco or Sam's Club by you? They have there divider sheets of cardboard that would be perfect for fabric holding.
And the best part it's FREE!

I go to JoAnn's store and get them for free. They just throw them out. If I need 1/2 ones. I just cut them down.

If you go to your local sign making shop, you can usually buy a plastic product that looks like cardboard but is made of a plastic that is not harmful to fabrics. It is quite cheap. I bought some and am going back for more. Just a thought.

Most shops will gladly give you their empty ones. My friend has a whole wall of them that she acquired that way. Just ask! Have fun.

what size thickness would not bend over ?

im looking on ebay, they have some that is as thin as cereal boxes but the thicker ones would serve better right?
