amazon.com-I am waiting for the 9th packet of comic boards. At 9.50 for 100 and acid free they are a bargain. Easy to cut as well.
I am reorganizing my room as we speak as DH hated the plastic container on the floor. 4 shelf units and a dresser. I will admit it looks better and is more organized that it was and I can see what I have now. Only problem is Ican also see the tops I have made and not quilted. Love to design and make the tops-hate to quilt them!!

Is mat board heavier then the comic boards? I like something with a little weight to it. We don't have any comic stores here so I don't know how stiff they are.
Thanks

they scan the empty bolt with the last fabric on it why would they need it for inventory? my Joann's is so glad to give them to you they even put them in a big garbage bag for you to carry them out in. I am waiting for shelving to be put up now so that I can empty my totes. Have 8 that are ready to put on the shelves. SIL said he would make whatever I wanted.
