    One "help" for wall hangings is to put another sleeve at the bottom of the quilt/hanging. Put a stick in there, about the thickness of a thin yardstick. That keeps it much flatter, even when it's not.

    I like all my quilts to fold as you do. If they don’t, I look for the problem and try to fix it.
