From Adele Swanson:
I have been using the Velcro picture hangers for some of my quilts. Depending on the size of the quilt I will use as many as I think will work. I typically buy the 16 lb. size. I recently bought some Atomic Grip tape and may try that, too
From Anne Mullis:
I have been hanging several of my quilts for some time, using 3M’s Command strips (I use the ones which look similar to hook & loop tape). The adhesive is extremely kind to fabric, removes quite easily from both the quilt and the wall, and has not left any residue or marks on my quilts! I have even used this method to hang a couple of quilts when my guild had our biennial show back in March, and received several comments about it – guests wanted to know how the quilts were hung, did the strips do any damage, etc. The only down side I can think of is having to wait for an hour to actually put the quilt on the wall, per the package directions.
From Dr. Laura Guertin:
Excerpt from Laura’s blog post about this challenge:
I’m focusing this blog post on what I do when I need to hang my quilts, and how I have used varying hardware over time. I feel that it is still a learning process, figuring out how best to hang my quilts in various locations for different displays.
…The stand you see in the final image of the slideshow is actually a stand for paper rolls or a fabric background I purchased online through B&H Photo. It was so hard to find something I could use to display hanging quilts, something that could be easily moved and transported. This stand isn’t bulky and is easy to set up and break down. I purchased several which allows me to display more than one quilt at once.
