    I went to Joanns and ask them what they are doing with the empty card board bolts and she answered oh we throw them out. So needless to say I got a lot of them free and cut them 10 1/2 inches so it would fit into my shelves. My hubby saw me doing that and he cut me the masonite board to size. Now I am in the process of winding my fabric up and store it into the shelves so I can see what I have.

    My DH did the same thing and what I actually did with the Masonite Board is cover them with old pillowcases. Just to make it look a little nicer. I have wire shelves so I needed something on the shelves so the material would not fall thru.

    I have kids still at home and we go through a lot of cereal & pizza. I cut these cardboard boxes to the size I want 11.5" and wrap away.

    I think you are referring to Foam Core board. That should do a pretty good job. I just use my long 8" ruler and fold around it, fold fabric once or twice, depends on what size you want, and slip out the ruler. LQS does that.

    I use the cardboard bolts that Joann's gives away. I cut some of them down to the "comic book" board size and wrap smaller pieces of fabric on them.

    Very often the fabric stores will give you empty bolts if you ask them. It's great for storing really large cuts of fabric.
