In ours it's usually near the bristol board display. |
I have found that I really need to use 2 magazine boards to keep the fabric solidly standing.

Thankyou Jacquie for the reminder that cardboard is not acid free. I looked up on the GLQC website and it said to cover cardboard with muslin, tin foil or acid free tissue. It also warned about using plastic to store fabric as the harmful vapors can deterioate fabric.

Comic boards on Amazon are very reasonable, acid free and work well from what I have heard. They run about 100 for $10.00. I think that is going to be a summer project for me once school is out.
I like this idea too! Thanks Kathdavis! Momtobostonterriers (lol...love that) I DO APPRECIATE you bringing back up the fantastic job "Alaskasunshine" has done with her sewing room. I bookmarked that to return to, but as of yet had not read WHAT type of board she had used to wrap her fabric around (initially I thought it was foamcore board). I'll be looking for coroplast locally to see what prices I encounter. If it's more then I can handle I'll investigate Kathdavis' suggestion next. I had not thought about the "acid free" aspects. GOOD SUGGESTION! Alaskasunshine sure got a lot of us inspired to ORGANIZE things right. ♥ |
I get the empty fabric bolt cardboard from my LQS, cut it up and its perfect to put the material.
|
I don't use the cardboard to put on the fabric I do fold it and stack it then I put the cardboard inbetween the stacks. I got the cardboard from fabric shop empty bolt cardboard it is firm and works fine.
|
I, too, get the empty bolt cardboards from all quilt shops I go to. They are happy to let you take them as it saves them from having to deal with them later.

Wow, Being new to all of this has be so excited to try this. I love how they are easy to see on the board instead of just in a bin.
