Has anyone used this design wall? I purchased one at a quilt show and am not having good luck with it. It has a sticky front and back - supposed to adhere to the wall. My blocks fall off and it keeps falling away from the wall. The Fons & Porter design wall which I purchased from JoAnns with a 40% coupon for $15 is far superior to this Block Butler which cost $60.

I just bought a F&P design wall. I had to take pictures off of a wall to use it, but it was a great purchase. Love it!!!

have you written the company and send it back to them.

I'd contact the company too.

I've never used it, but wonder how people like it.

I am thinking of getting one of those that roll down off a roller, like a window shade.

Anyone have one of those?

I would write to the company too, and send it back to them.

I have a roller shade I found at Habitat for the humanity for $10.00 (6 feet wide!), I have the flannel, I have the brackets. Just need the glue to glue the flannel and make my own!!!!! I'm hoping it works, too!

I bought 2 sheets of 4'x8'x1/2" foam insulation at a building center for less than $10 apiece, fastened it to a wall for a design wall. I just pin blocks to it. I think I will cover it with flannel sometime. Plenty large enough to pin up the largest quilt I'll ever make.

hmmmm, can you send it back to the company you bought it to? I would.

I don't use a design wall of any kind, No wall big enough.
