How hard is it to cut the sign material? Couldn't you use poster board instead if you have nothing to cut the sign material? Loved your tutorial and envy your organized stash!

You can ask the sign people to cut it for you for a fee. I am not sure if you can use posterboard for this. This sign material is sturdy and wonderful to use. My husband used his table saw to cut mine. I paid $17.00 per 4x8 sheet.
I hope you are able to do this it is very neat. But it is REALLY TIME CONSUMING!!!!!!!!!!!! :shock:

Thanks for taking the time to post all those pictures,,and in order also! I am keeping this tutorial in my list of keepers and will use it later when my room is ready to get organized...it will tell me, or hold my DH for ransom, one of the two!

Wow!What a great stash organizer! Love your ideas! Wish mine was already done.

I love your organizing. I ordered the boards from Polar notions and they were a bit expensive. Now I fold the fabric and then slip the board out and stack them. What a great hubby you have!

I found the answer on the previous comments. Thank for the tutorial. One thing I know I will have to remove the cardboard that I have mine on temporaily but I but the selvege edge on the outside so I can find out who made it.


I am green with envy. Your stash looks so pretty.

Thanks so much for sharing. You have your own quilt department from which to "shop". Do you have to order most of your fabrics or do you have a shop close by in Alaska?

I lived in Alaska many years ago, a fabric store was unheard of then. Things must have really changed.

There is now hope for me. Through this tutorial, there may actually be a light at the end of this tunnel of fabric.

I didn't have the boards today, but I did fold some fabric using my rulers utilizing the same method. They really look neat.

Are you stacking them or putting them up like books? I wanted to use polar notions but with shipping it was too costly. I hope you enjoy your fabrics when they are all organized. It just looks so darned pretty. Doreen you are right my husband is a sweetheart! I am crazy in love with that dude :-D

I am not totally sold on the cardboard the fabric comes on as to ruining fabric by causing it to striping. As was discussed on the board earlier. I do know however you can fit a lot more fabric on the little plastic boards I used. I could have NEVER organized my stash with the card board. I do have about 10 fabrics still on the cardboard bolts. They look so cute in the entertainment center in my quilt room I got off of Craig's list. I believe I am their biggest fan. :lol: :roll: :thumbup:

Please let me know how you do. I am so tickled "I" have been an inspiration on organizing. That is a hoot for sure!!! I guess there is hope for me :lol: :lol: :lol:
ENJOY what ever it is that you are doing! :thumbup:
