Design Wall on the Cheap

Design Wall on the Cheap
I made a design wall out of the largest, flannel backed tablecloth I could find. Some Blue Painters tape and I'm done. Not the prettiest or fanciest, but the price is right. It works really well and when the flannel gets a bunch of threads on it.. well I cut a piece of freezer paper and use the shiny side down, place it on the flannel and IRON with a hot iron. Thread come right off and I just move the paper around until it's all clean again. The freezer paper works on most boards.

If it works for you, that is ALL that counts. I work mostly with small pieces with bargellos and it so handy to be able to stick a pin to make sure that the fabric doesn't shift or move an inch !!

I just made mine from 1 inch thick foam and love being able to stick pins in it when needed

Where did you find a large flannel backed tablecloth? I need to do a demo at Quilt Club in a couple weeks and I hve to figure out some kind of design wall to display the pieces. This idea should work--if I can find a LARGE flannel backed tablecloth.

Thanks. My local $ store does not carry flannel backed quilts so I will look in some bigger towns.
