Default Comic boards

What are comic boards that you use to wrap fabric on? Where do you buy them? I do not buy over the internet because I do not trust it.

I too just ended up ordering these. I'm attempting some organization of some fabrics I've had for more than 30 years. I just bought an IKCA cabinet on a recent graduation trip to Seattle, that had been a floor model and these will be great on the side of the cabinet for those smaller cuts of fabric that I just couldn't yet part with. Doing pictures as I go and will show the mess and clean up of my new sewing space when I finnish.

Yes, she is a bad influence! LOL!!! Actually, thanks for the heads up and the website. These will solve several of my reorganization challenges.

Look in your local Yellow Pages for a comic book store (or Google search in your local area - it's safe). The boards are used to stabilize comic books/magazines for collectors when they're put in plastic sleeves. Keeps them from bending and creasing. They're acid free so they won't harm the comics (or your fabric).
Here's a random example on eBay- they come in different sizes depending on the use:

I love the idea of hanging rulers, either from the towel rack or with the clips. Thanks. That will hopefully clean up some clutter.
