Here's a tutorial. http://cuttopieces.blogspot.com/2011...-tutorial.html

I try to leave a bit of the board sticking out the top and bottom. I didn't always, so some of my stash is all bendy on the edges from sticking over the boards a little.

Here's another that wraps it completely around the boards. I don't think I'd like this method.

One of the smartest thing I ever did was use comic boards for my fabric. Love being able to see it and it makes the room look soooo much more organized. I'm not even as far along as you are but I've made quite a dent. Progress takes time. :) Yours looks great.

Question...do you worry about fading of the ends of the fabric with open shelves?

I do, so I keep mine in a cabinet with doors. But I've had scraps sitting out right in the window and they didn't seem to fade.

My sewing room is in the basement so I don't worry too much about the fabric fading
