Do a search on google for comic boards.
I would love to have some if they are. Thanks for the tip :) |
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!! |

Thank you... I followed your lead on that comment awhile back. I like the foamcore board from the $ store. I know it's not acid free so I wrap it in Saran wrap and tape it on. Don't know if that helps...but.. that's what I'm doing to deal with the acid free vs non-acid free comments. Bluegrassgurl 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 . |
Any stores that sell fabric will give you they're empty cardboard bolts for free.....quilt shops or fabric shops.

The comic boards I got were really flimsy. Does anyone have a brand name to recommend?
|
I ask at Joanns for the cardboard from the bolts of fabric. I cut them in half and use them to store my fabric. Works great
|
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.
