Hanging Tabs
 

I have a wall hanging that is crying out to have hanging tabs at the top. I have never done these. Are there any cautionary sizes or widths from those of you that have done these in the past? TIA

I have done them a few times. It seemed that I put them on about every 4 to 6 inches depending on the size of the quilt. I used grosgrain ribbon on one of them. Just make sure they are all cut the same length and attach before you put your binding on.

ah, OK. but do you put them so they hang behind the binding or in front of the binding?

I would put one in the center, then on each end. then decide how many you will need in between those.

I would put them on on the back side of binding.

thanks for all your help

I found that those plastic rings that are used for curtains work better than the hanging tabs I was making. I sew them on at the corners and then slide a small dowel rod through them to hang. just a thought ......

You attach them to the back of the quilt. That way they hang right and the dowel is next to the wall when it is threaded through the tabs.

If the wall hanging is not too large, I put a folded triangle in both top corners on the back. Then I bind as usual. A dowel trimmed to fit is just hooked under those triangles. Easy to hang on a nail or command strip.

Folded triangles in the corners, sewn under the binding, into the seam allowance.
