Random Quick Tip!
Storing Fabric With Comic Book BoardsFor those of you who store your fabric on Comic book boards and use only 1 board, which can be flimsy, try gluing two boards together or use double stick tape to keep two of them together to make your "mini bolt" more sturdy! You can also use spray adhesive on one board and glue them together if you like. I use the double stick tape on mine.
