I was running out of room and as I was watching your videos I found this one. Oh my, was I happy to have found it. I bought a pack of 100 comic boards to file my fabric away with 200 clips. So they arrived and I started the process. Anyway, 100 boards later and I have still have fabric left and no boards! I had no idea that I had so much fabric, how much have I spent for goodness sake? Am I the only one or does everyone have a fabric habit? I've bought another 100 boards and I had better start using it or my husband will make me live in the garage. On reflection it is a double garage, it has electricity, it's water tight and it has an inspection pit, hmmm...

I havent seen anyone talk about serious yardage with these. Im a dressmaker and I keep more than just a few fat quarters or yards even. Im glad you mentioned that you can get 6-8

Just retired and this is a great way to organize a life time of fabrics!

I also use comic boards to keep my fabric organized and also easy to see. However, I fold the fabric so that there is some of the cardboard sticking out at the top and in this spot I write the yardage and anything else I need to remember (like cost or where purchased). Your way makes for less bulky 'bolts' though. :)

Straight forward and practical…thank you for sharing… excellent! ❤

Thank you Sara, they look like mini bolts of fabric...love this organizing idea!

I’ve been doing this for years. My fabric stash inspires me!

This is the method I use and set them up like books so they just slide on and off the shelf easy. Love it!

I do this with 1 yard plus quilting and garment fabrics-works great with cube storage systems. Fat quarters are folded same way but on 4x6 index cards and go in plastic shoeboxes, not sure about the acid free thing,but works for me Love your videos.

When I first heard about this I was a little reluctant to give it a try. It seemed like 'one more thing.' But I finally relented and am happy I did. My fabric takes up much less room and it is nice to have the material placed in a way that I can see the patterns and colors easier than I could while just folded and stacked. The comic book board gives some stability that wasn't there before. I like the uniformity of the look as well. While putting the fabric on the board I also take the time to write out the yardage and width. Good idea!

Yes I use the Comic Book cards, brilliant & not too costly. I do like your idea of folding the yardage twice, saves a lot of winding on !

I started using comic boards about a year ago. They work really well, take less space that simply folding the fabric and make seeing what I have easy.

Excellent advice and video, Sara! I ordered Comic Book Boards and Alligator Clips from Amazon, per your recommendation. Excited to use them! :-D

What a neat way to store your fabric. Going to do this.

I have ordered the comic book boards and I am working through my stash. I had decided not to put my fat quarters on the boards, but after seeing how great they look, I will be doing that. When I buy a new piece of fabric, I put it on the board so it will be ready when I start my project. Thank you for this helpful video.

I use the comic book boards, too. I use painter's tape to secure the fabric on the board.

I recently found an oak 6 drawer dresser at an antique store for a great price, and have folded most of my fabric into thirds and placed them by colors in the drawers, leaving a top drawer for purse hardware etc. It is a great way to store the fabric so I just open a drawer and see all the selections in that color. Makes it easier to tidy up the sewing room!

I had not thought of actually folding my fabric around the board; I might have to go organize my FQ's now! I folded all my fabric so that it is just shorter than the height of the board and then fold/roll it onto the board like a bolt in the store. Both methods work!

I got a refrigerator box and cut it up and got a lot of cardboard and it's the first I learn how to fold my fabric thank you

I use a tshirt folder like they use in the clothing stores . We use in our own closets and one day it dawned on me that it would work for fabric too :)
