Hi, I'm a lurker here! I hang my wallhangings, big or small with 1/4 inch steel rods in top & bottom and they hang beautifully. I go to a local machine shop & clean the rods really good & insert them in small pockets on top & bottom.

I save my used needles too.

I'm too lazy to fuss with hangers. I use the poster putty and it holds a good size wall hanging. It's not toxic and won't hurt fabric or walls. I put a dab on each corner and top and bottom middle, press to wall and it works great.

I cut the eye off a needle and use the shank to hang quilts and even framed pictures. You'd be surprised at how much weight that needle will hold and practically no hole left in the wall.

I also use my dull sewing machine needles (not broken?) to hang calenders.
