Use clips on the rings to hang a display quilt that can be moved out of the way when the design board is in use.

You can kind of see it in my avatar photo on the right. It's been up for about 4 years now~love it! still haven't changed the batting or anything.... XO Sandra

When's the last time anyone heard a phone number like that? Last time for me was in the late 60's in Detroit Michigan. I use the yard sticks as a frame. since I make so many scrap quilts, it helps me with size. .. Before that, I made a couple too long , but not wide enough, think of a super long twiggy not quite twin.
