design wall
what do you use for a design wall. I was using flannel backed table cloths but they are about worthless now seems like the flannel is not very good on them and I purchased them at dollar store. I have looked other places for them in department stores but have not found any. So was at fabric store the other day and she said she used felt. So got some of that I do not have to pin everything

I bought two full sheets of Styrofoam insulation
and tacked them to the wall. I covered it with an old sheet and Pin to it. |
I covered two sheets of insulation with white flannel on a curtain
rod...pinned the sides and bottom. When it gets dirty I can remove the flannel and wash. Of course it will be more "sticky" when the flannel is new. Putting a few pins to attach my blocks don't bother me. Beats having to crawl on the floor or over a bed. |
Fleece has been my favourite for design walls for years.

I tacked a Warm and Natural batt to my wall.

I don"t have/use a design wall. I sew in my dining room, and there is literally not any open vertical space to use. If I absolutely need to see how something "flows" I have tacked things to the front of my china hutch!

I use my bed as my design wall. I don't crawl on the bed, it would mess up the quilt blocks. I just walk around the end and sides of bed, on the floor. Same as when I go to bed. After I like the arrangement I number all blocks W/ Crayola washable markers. Yes, the markers all wash completely out all the time and always.
