OK, I am ready for the comments and criticism, but I have found the Best way for me to make a quilt sleeve...even a temporary one that can be removed and the quilt sent to someone to use.

I buy flat sheets for the many charity quilts I make. When I find Queen and King size sheets, I buy them and cut the wide top hem off to make the perfect hanging sleeves. I have used them for the quilts I hang over my glass doors in the winter. I also have one quilt on the wall in my hallway...with high ceilings! I do apply them with the sewing machine, using a long basting stitch. Making a special pocket takes time, so this is quick and easy!

These hems could be used as temporary sleeves for quilts at a show...then removed easily after the show is over. Saving time and effort is my way of doing things these days.
