I too bought the Fons and Porter design wall. I hung it on curtain rod but did not like the fact it did not lay smooth against wall. Took it off rod and used thumb tacks to secure it to wall. Works much better and more importantly my blocks don't fall off. I tried using the back of a vinyl tablecloth but after spending 2 1/2 hours deciding on proper placement of blocks I left them overnight so I could look at them in the daylight. Next morning I found over half of the blocks on the floor! Never again will I use that method for a design wall.
