The boards I use are no thicker than a sheet of heavy cardstock. I didn't know people used foam board. Seems like that would get expensive and i wouldn't want to cut that many pieces of foam board. The ones I use are comic book boards that are already cut to size.

These are a great idea. How many layers of fabric can they hold? Depending on how how much I am storing - it could be as many as 8 layers.
