I use this for mine also. I have a blank wall in the back hall across from where my washer and dryer are. The rolling laundry bin sits there so I can easily move it when I want to use more space. I have a painting hanging on the wall, I just work over it or take it down if it's a problem.
DH placed 4 screws up by the ceiling so that I can hang the kind of hangers with clips on them. I have 3 of the tablecloths from the thrift store for 50 cents each. With 2 clips on each hanger, they hold the tablecloths securely. The flannel backing holds squares and even fairly large sections well but a whole top I simply clip into the hangers at the top also.
If I am doing a small project, I can only hang one tablecloth, but can do up to a king easily and have about 7.5' to work with from floor to ceiling.

all 3 in use.. note hangers at top
