I bought flannel material and tried that. It seemed like the fabric didn't stay up very well. So I bought the design wall from Keepsake Quilting and am now using it. To hang it I bought some velcro with sticky back from Walmart and put those on the back of the material and hung it that way. They are clear so if we have company stay in the spare bedroom that I use for quilt, I can take it down and all that is left is some clear circles on the wall. I did have to take the velcro part that sticks to the material and sew it to the material. It works really great and I love it.
