Cut out for hanging sleeve
This is a quick picture to tutorial to show how I make my hanging sleeves for small quilts that are up to 2.5' wide It eliminates having to have two hooks for a dowel to rest on.
1. I use a 7' deep by the width you need including enough for hemming the sides

5.place the circle and draw a mark around it with pencil or fabric safe pen or disappearing ink pen.

6. use any scrap of fusable interfacing pressed to the wrong side or use a paper towel between the layers for stability during the sewing.

9. use sharp scissor and trim close to the stitching without cutting it. At this point the sleeve is ready to sew onto the quilt before attaching the binding or.......

There must be a problem with counting. I am being told 10 pictures can be in a post and I am only being allowed 9 so I will finish up in another thread and that will be okay. I only have one more to go. Oh I see the problem another picture snuck in that I thought I deleted. Maybe the Adm will fix this for me.
See you in the next picture
