Last month I had to put a sleeve on a large and small quilt to hang for display for a few weeks. I made the sleeve and glued it on the small one. The quilt hung just fine. I used Elmer's School Glue. The sleeve came off with water when the display was over. For the large one I fused the sleeve on using batting tape. I will leave that sleeve on the quilt, it was made with the same fabric as the backing so can't even see it. If I don't like doing something, then I find something that does the same job but is easier for me.
