Talk about an unnecessary item!

Yep thats what I do, they give them to you for free so they dont have to throw them away. But some say I'm a bit cheap, I like to call it frugal, thrifty,practical, money connoisseur, spending challenged. And maybe a little on the crazy side...LOL

The cardboard bolts are too thick to save space. Using the thin fabric boards you can get three times the amount of fabric on a shelf. I started out using the Wilton cake boards cut in half (works good), went to comic book boards (the cheapest boards ever and do a good job)and then bought the original fabric boards. I've been throwing out the other boards and buying the fabric boards a package at a time. They are worth it.

They told me at both places people put cheap fabric on the boards and try to return it for full price! I asked if the could mark it out but they said they wouldn't do it anymore!

OMG, I want to go shopping in your closet :lol:
I personally don't need any kind of board to sort the little stash I have, I just use my ruler to get a uniform fold and stach so fold is showing, it works well for me for now.

The cardboards are NOT acid free. The cardboard will eventually leech onto fabric and discolor it. They use these at fabric stores because they have a good turnaround for fabric.
Fabric boards ARE acid free, and thinner. They will hold more fabric in less space.
