How do you hang your quilts to take pictures, so you can see the quilting stitches in the pictures. Any help would be appreciated.

I lay mine on a bed then stand on a ladder. Not too far up though I have a fear of heights. However, since the upstairs is my sewing room and only used when we have overnight guests which are family anyway that I might attach some hooks to the ceiling and use cord and a long pole of some type that I could lower, attach the quilt to, then raise the rod back to the ceiling. It's all in the planning stages for right now though. I'd have to have some kind of double hook on the wall to hook the cords on too.

I hang mine in the overhang of the garage with big heavy clamps.

I lay them on the bed and stand on a stepstool.

Hang it vertically for the least amount of distortion, natural light is best and have an additional light source on one side to accentuate the quilting stitches. The side light will cause the stitching to be slightly shadowed and thus show more depth.

Quilt University has an online class on photographing quilts that you might be interested in. It starts next Friday and costs $36 for 4 lessons. Their classes are great. http://www.quiltuniversity.com/index.html

sometimes i've pinned a quilt to the drapes over the sliding glass door to take a picture, if it is too big i lay it on the bed and use a step stool to get above it.
i heard that you can take a quilt in to walmart portrait studio and get pictures done (professionally) but i have not checked to see if this is true or not, if i ever finish my (heirloom quilt) i will give this a try and see if they will really do that or not...for the price of their regular package.

I used to pin mine to my drapes in the living room. That worked fine. Then DH made us a big design wall in the sewing room, and now we hang them there. Have a little bit of problem being able to get far enough back to get the whole quilt when it is large. But so far it's been OK.

hmmmm makes you wonder what happened to clotheslines???

which is what I use and DH made one up under the patio so I can use it also

I use my DH to hold the quilts to take a whole picture and then if I need a close up, I put it on my sewing table.

When no one is home to hold them up for me I pin them to my living room drapes
