    Default Comic Boards

    Does anyone use the comic boards for organizing their fabric? I think it may work well for me gonna try it I think. This way instead of digging thru a box for a fabric It will be all organized by color, Also what method do you use to hold it on the boards? don't want to put them in plastic bags as then it can't breathe and will get costly...just thinking being able to see fabrics at a glance instead of digging through so many boxes will save time and energy ...more time and energy for sewing then.

    I use comic book boards. I secure the fabric with the larger paper clips that are covered with plastic. I bought a big box of paper clips from Staples with lots of colors. Some folks use pins but I don't because I tend to drop them and I worry about my cats and my bare toes finding them later.

    I like the comic boards. I can see my fabric instead of digging thru piles of fabric. Seemed everything I needed was always on the bottom of the pile. So much organized this way.

    I have 3 different boards that I have used and will take pics later today of each and give a bit of my thoughts on each later on today. Gotta move my booty to get to the kiddo to school and me to work (part time volunteer, so it wont be too long)! ~to include a comic board.
    Finished is way better than perfect!

    I use the comic book boards and love them. Once the fabric is wrapped up on a board, I just secure it with a couple of straight pins. Works great.

    I have read so many good reviews on Amazon about these -- Good price for 100 boards too. They are acid free so no worries about wrapping your fabric either.



    Looking forward to seeing pictures of the fabric on them.

    Never seen them in Australia and I don't have enough fabric for them anyway - most of my unused stuff is precuts or fat 1/4s or WOF 12" strips. I only have a couple of fabrics longer than a yard in my box (ear-marked for backing) .................. so far

    comic book backing boards - collectors use them to keep comic books from getting bent. Quilters use them to store fabric

    They are small poster boards that comic collectors put the comics in with a plastic bag for protection.

    Some brilliant person came up with the idea to use them for fabric!
