Hanging Quilts
#1
I would like to hang some of my quilts. One of the shops I was in used a decorative curtain rod and the rings with little clips to hang the quilt. Will the clips hurt the quilt? How do you hang your quilts?

No, the rings will not hurt your quilt, I use them all the time, including using them on a queen size. A sleeve is another option, but, I don't always know I'm going to hang a quilt when I make it, so, I use the rings and curtain rod. If it is a wall hanging or small decorative quilt that is only to be hung, then I use a sleeve or corner pockets for doweling.

Regarding the clips, I have a rather large 81" x 81" quilted door curtain hung from them - it hung for about a year in my French house and has now hung for nine months here in England and there's not a mark on it. :-D It's posted here, hanging in France http://www.quiltingboard.com/t-28426-1.htm :-D

The easy way is just to get push-pins and carefully work them through the fabric, then into the wall. They won't tear the thread, and will only leave tiny holes in the wall, and are easy to move. You can hang a queen-sized quilt with only 4 pins.
This is what a lot of quilt shops do to display quilts.

i usually put either hanging sleeves or tabs on my quilts - but also skirt/pant hangers with (clothespin clamps) work well. i have a few of these hangers- i can clip 2 or 3 of them across the top of a quilt and hang it over curtain rods/closet rod, or even on the top of doors
