I got 20 pcs. from a sheet @ a cost of about $1 each. Now that I like them so much, I will have to look for a better price per sheet locally, if possible. Thanks for the flute directions OP, it worked well this way.

Please post pix here so we can see your pretty fabrics!

Where did you get the white new adjustable bookcases?

You have outdone yourself. All of you are making me have an intense need to get the right size storage into my deep dismantled useless closet. Thank you so much for all the pictures ladies!!

What kind of boards did you use for fabric folding?

I don't know what Alaskasunshine used, but I use comic book boards purchased from a local comic book store. I paid $12 for a package of 100. They measure 7"x10 1/2" and can be easily cut in half for FQs, or left whole for larger pieces of fabric.

I used "COROPLAST" it is like cardboard but only plastic. Call your local sign shops for pricing and cutting information.
I hope this helps you out...Happy folding! :thumbup:

Please, could you tell me what you used for boards. I don't see that anywhere. It must have to be pretty strong to hold the fabric. I would appreciate your help with this question.
