I have a similar one except that it hangs on the wall and unrolls like the old style roller blinds. It is not big enough for a queen (barely for a double). I have it over a door and pull it down to use, conveniently out of the way when not
in use. It is coated so blocks stick to it. It was a gift from DD and think pricey. Think you could do the same with
a large roller blind if you could manage to attach thin enough flannel to let it roll back up.

Nice idea and I'm sure it's priced right to cover cost from build to see but it is pricey for sure. Size is limited and it takes up a lot of space accommodating the spread of the legs. Not for me but thanks for sharing as it could certainly be just the thing for someone else.

I like those and want one but i made one out of pvc pipe. I put it up as needed and it will hold a queen quilt with no problems.

i have the tablecloth on the wall type. if i need it bigger there is a larger tablecloth, or i can sew 2 together. it went up "temporarily" and it hasn't come down since. i like it. it's in the family room , so when i get a design set i turn and ask dh how he likes it. easy for him he doesn't have to get up and walk 5 steps to my sewing area to see it. lol, cheap but never tacky!

I have Cheryl's 72 x 72 design wall. I have really used it a lot, however, I have to use pins and it seems somewhat unstable. It takes up room. The back and bottom of the unit spreads out rather tripod style for support. The vanishing design wall is very appealing to me. I might have to check into that one. The cost is not always what I look at. I think on the lines of will it work for me and does it do the job it was made for. I love having a design wall to arrange the workings of a quilt. It saves me time and money. (reduces errors and stress).

Don't know about this one, but I have Cheryl Ann's design wall...the big one. I LOVE IT! it is 72 x 72, plenty big and it folds up into a carrying bag.
