Hello
Love your organization. I found this on Pinterest. I see you posted this over 5 years ago. so I am wondering if you are still using this system.
Also do you measure each piece? and if so how do you mark it?
thanks
Barb

What kind of board do you use?? I don't use straight pins because I had some rust since I use the boards that fabric is sold from. I cut the clear tablecloth vinyl 28" length, 2" wide and wrap it around the fabric and secure with a piece of scotch tape.

If you call a local sign shop just ask if they carry the sign material that is corrugated plastic for signs. Usually realtors have for sale signs made of this stuff. They come in 4'x8' sheets. My DH cut them up for me. If you are not able to do that they may cut them for a fee.The only thing to be careful of is making sure your lines are going the right way otherwise the bolt will fold up as you try to wrap it. I give that information on the first picture on this tutorial.
have lots of fun with this. Also if you have more questions feel free to ask away...

I am wondering if you have ever tried to use he foam board for this? They say it is quit tough and easy for anyone to work it. Just wondered if it will collapse like cardboard does. There are no lines to collapse so it makes it stronger. And I think it is way cheaper. You can order it from Amazon. Thanks QM

I am now trying your method for organizing my fabric and boy I didn't realize how much fabric I have. I love the way it is turning out so far. I started doing this three days ago and hopefully it turns out as good as yours
