No it's not hard. Do a search here as there's a tutorial on it, I believe.

Yes, you can put it on after it's finished, but it will be all hand sewing. And it looks more finished and is quicker to do while doing the binding.

Dglvr: I really like this idea. I'd never seen this before and I'm going to try it on the next quilt I finish. Looks easier than a sleeve and would work really well on a small, lightweight hanging. Thanks for the idea. Where did you see this done?

AnnaK I think I got it from the quilt guild here in town.
I've been using it on all my wallhangers and I like the 1 nail
instead of 2. You could also use a sleeve at the top and this method on the bottom so heavier stuff will lay better too.
Your welcome for the idea. Hope it works for you. :thumbup:

I used it on my wall hanging and it is easy and works great! A lot easier than a full sleeve for hanging. Just make sure your dowel reaches all the way to the edges. If not the hanging could sag a bit over time.
