I used the same cardboard that they use to back comic books with, I think that it has a lower acidity level than most cardboards, and therefore does not damage fibers. Also, the room in which I do all my sewing doesn't even have a window (bad for me, but good for the fabrics), so they never are exposed to sunlight. Dust is another issue altogether, but I do try to keep everything well dusted in that respect. And, yes, I do typically use my fabrics within one month of purchase. Thanks for bringing up these great points. Mermaids - thanks for the great info!

I love the idea for the bookshelves as a place to stash fabric. I hope you don't mind but I'm probably going to steal that idea for my own studio :D OMG!
