I'm interested in the comic book boards to get my fabric organized (if possible! LOL) I googled "comic book boards" and several sites came up. I just want to order from a reputable site. It seems as if Amazon actually does the fulfillment for some of the sites. If anyone can recommend a particular seller or sellers, please PM me. Thanks so much!!

My LQS is glad to recycle their bolt board to me and I do the same thing - cut them in half. I think it is a great idea myself. I also just take a pin and pin the top to the board and it stays neatly wrapped and doesn't come loose.

Are we all smart or what?????????????? Edie

in case any one is wondering the small comic book boards are 6 3/4 x 10 1/2 and the bigger ones are 8 1/2 x 11, and both take quite a bit of fabric, it's not worth it for FQ it's waste of cardboard

i have a habit of bringing home fabric on the bolts, when the shop/store is willing to part with them. hubby finally gave up and built me a cart, on wheels, that's 36"wide, 48"long, and 36" deep, and i stand them in there. it's nice to have, because i sometimes am guilty of "traveling" in the house with my machine under my arm, and a project that won't fit in the little sewing room. then that cart just pulls along behind me. he's such a good guy...

Isn't it wonderful to be able to organize your fabric on boards. If anyone wants fabric boards that are heavier than comic boards - search "Easy Cores" on this site. They are heavier than comic boards, acid free and priced much less than clothtides. (and free shipping). Happy wrapping - always love the way they look when they're wrapped up and on display.
