I also made some smaller portable design walls with the offcuts. Works great at the sewing machine and iron. Or for just putting a few pieces together.
Wow. That's very interesting. Wish I had known that. I have flannel on my
design wall. Works quite well but I have to use pins for big blocks and will
definitely not hold a full quit top. Next time I might opt for fleece. Thanks
for your tip. :thumbup:
It's been a real blessing ... and I love the black colour. I had never heard of a design wall, and once I did, I tried a few things and then made the full commitment ... and have never regretted it!
