that is what i am doing now. i put hooks in top hem and then hang it from those press in angled picture hanger things that i have put into top of trim arounf deck door. i hace a 1/2" wood dowel from ace hardware in bottom hem to hold it out straight. easy to take down when we have company at meal times. then hang it right back up again. last house i had a spare bedroom for a sewing room. we had bought a new refrigerater and i used the packing carton covered with felt for a design board. hubs & i screwed it to wall w wide washers. it hung and was still in excellent condition when i moved after 13 years. in fact it was so rigid still that i had a little trouble taking it down by myself ).
