I had one of those... I wasn't real satisfied w/it. It was suppose to be one that could be taken off & used repeatedly, but it left a residue on the wall & it didn't restick very well.

I think it was cloth or vinal that adheres to the wall with some kind of stuff that makes it stick without nails or frame. Can you all help me out? Thanks

Here is what I discovered just yesterday..........505 quilting spray will adhere flannel to a door or wall.I covered the back of my door with the same flannel as my design wall. I can use it for smaller projects . The adhesive washes away easily if you remove the flannel!!I sprayed the back of the door, then smoothed the flannel in place.I had to lift it in a few places, and it stuck back down easily!!!

Well, that makes more sense. Why didn't some others of us think of that? lol. You are so clever, 505 spray. Cool Thank you for the tip.

I also made my own. Bought 2 sheets of 1/2 inch foam insulation and cut them so I have a 6 ft x 6 ft design wall. I covered it with flannel and used double stick tape to attach to the wall. It works great!

I used a 4 x 8 piece of batt board (from home depot). stretched a piece of batting to the back and tacked it down, then stretched a piece of flannel to the back and tacked it down. When stood up in my sewing room (8' ceilings), the board is wedged tight between the floor and the ceiling. No need to attach it to the wall - it is stuck!

My friend uses a flannel-backed vinyl tablecloth as a design wall. She folded over one edge to make a sleeve for a curtain rod. It's portable and can be rolled up when not in use.

When I was at Paducah this guy was selling a magnetic setup which my GF and I thought we could do with stuff from Home Depot.
