Old sewing needles work well too. They are strong and leave small holes.

Never thought of the dull machine needles. What a great group!

I use machine needles, also. To break them, I first loosely wrap the needle in old fabric and then catch the needle with two pairs of pliers...one on the shaft (the part that goes into the machine) and the other just below where the shaft meets the needle. Hold tightly and bend the needle. It will break just above the pliers closest to the eye hole. So, if you want it short, grab the needle higher up. It will bend, but only so much, then break. Make sure the fabric is loose enough to give when you bend and break the needle. It's to keep small pieces of metal from flying unexpectedly.

Why should we break them?

Another way to hang wallhangings is to sew in a corner tab on each end (like photo corners for pictures) on the back side then a dowel or flat paint stick and be made the same width and inserted to hang. Moosegirl

We don't buy frozen pizzas, so won't have those "vents". I use plastic rings....just sew them on (tack sewing) and hang.....no problem! Less calories!!! LOL

For all my wall hangings I use the velcro type hooks, they come in various sizes and there is not damage done to the fabric or the walls when they need to come down.
