I have been using a curtain rod and 3M hooks for a couple of yrs and it works great.

I use a black curtain rod (you can buy them at target, home depot, etc.) to display my quilts at home. They usually will have some packages of rings with small clips that you can buy in addition to the curtain rod. |

Thanks maggiemay & gale

Maggiemay - what a wonderful way to hang your quilt. I am most certainly going to try that on my next wall hanging. Thank you for showing us. :)

The magnetic quilt holders use the 3M product to attach to the wall which I doubt will do any damage to the wall.
