How do you store the fabrics now? Think about the shelf where they will be stored.

A wire shelf will need a liner so they boards don't slip through the wires. I used the polar notion boards but found I like ruler folding at 6.5 inches the best. Slip a ruler into the stack and slide out the bundle you want.

You might want some type of divider if you stack the fabrics upright with the boards method.

For the amount of fabric I have, bolts and even foam board would be too thick and take up too much space. For cuts under about a yard and a half I wrap them around comic book boards. They are the perfect size once you give the fabric another lengthwise fold. Then I stack them upright like books on a bookshelf I bought for fabric.

For longer lengths of fabric I ruler fold them (6x24” ruler), and stack them horizontally.

you can buy comic book boards fairly inexpensively, about $10 for 100... Comic book shops sell them, or dealers on EBay.

Bonnie Hunter uses a wide roller to wrap, slide the fabric out, fold in half and store. I'll post a picture in a bit.

I use Magazine boards and comic boards. It has made things so much neater. I use 2 plastic coated paper clips to keep it in place. At Dollar tree the large clips are 80 in a pack much cheaper than an office supply.

I have two stacked lateral files in a closet where I store my fabrics. Each drawer pulls outside the closet independently when I want in that drawer, and it is so easy to rifle through when needed. I close the closet door when not using.

I use foam-core board cut to a size that allows me to fold the fabric so that three columns of fabric stack per drawer. Since the fabric is laying down (not up like a book on a shelf) I don't need to leave the foam-core board in the fabric.

The top drawer has fat quarter size and smaller just folded.

I used to put fabric in this closet hanging by clothes hangers. This file allows me to store ALOT more fabrics.

I bought comic boards but never used them. my fat qtrs for the most part are folded on their sides in four dresser drawers. the closet has a shelving unit full of folded yardage and batting. then tubs hold pre-cuts I've purchased. lots of neutral colors in those to go with stash.

If you have a JoAnn Fabric store in your area, stop in and ask if they have any empty fabric boards. Some time back someone else mentioned doing that so I go by ours and ask whenever I'm there and they are more than happy to give them to you. There have been times I've picked up all they've had...10 to 12 at a time. They dispose of them anyway.

I don't use boards but wrap fabric that I have folded around a 6 1/2 inch ruler. Slide the ruler out and stack or stand it up by colors. So far that is my favorite method and it looks tidy and neat.

I use plastic fabric organizers in 2 sizes ................. Fat quarter and yardage ............ very practical and I love them. I bought them from Connecting Threads.

I use fabric organizers from Polar Notions and the little bolt clips they also sell. I absolutely love them! They are thin enough to let me store lots of fabric, but they are sturdy enough to provide some stability. They are acid-free, etc. I use the regular sized ones for my fabrics that are at least one yard. I loved them so much, I purchased the smaller ones (I think they are called fat-quarter size) to fold my fabric that is less than one yard. It's an easy thing for me to then pick what I need. I purchased them from a company called paperpieces.com, then select the Polar Notions option. By the way, I think I ordered 125 of them (I think). I've got about 5 of them I'm not using.....so that also helps me keep track of what I need to use before I purchase more fabric! Don't regret that purchase at all.
