There is someone here on the quilting board that is selling ones she cut from colorplast. They are way less expensive than the polar notions. I saw them once but don't know where at the moment. You might find them in a search.

I do the same thing and have my LQS save me that days empty bolts when I need more. For smaller pieces of fabrics I saw the cardboard bolts in half (or 1/3rds) and tape the ends.
Works great. :D

love the organization

I love your personal fabric shop! I too get my empty bolts from the LQS and cut them in half for my stash. Helps the land fill and my room looks so much better for it.

Great stash and wonderful organisation.

Hobby Lobby will give them to you.

Wow you have a great stash. Great job organizing it.

Great stash - what stores give you those boards? Anyone I ask tells me no.

I get them from my LQS, JoAnns, Hobby Lobby and even Hancocks. I don't think anyone has ever turned me down. Occasionally JoAnn's will be "holding" some for someone who asked for quite a few.

Where do you buy them and how much do they cost?
