Great idea! Plus, it will release some tension for the quilter!

It may be that the flannel you're trying to use is somewhat directional in terms of the way it's fibers are oriented. Try turning it 90 or 180 degrees to see if it works better that way.

Oh you ladies are SO SMART!

I've got a queen size quilt up there by smoothing.

I use fleece as well .... and have a 7-1/2ft x 10 ft wall ... fleece is flat on the wall.

I have hung fully pieced full sized quilts on the "fuzzy" design wall ... and they have stayed put for weeks on end!! Just need to smooth on with your hand and they stick.

I didn't think of it when I responded last but mine is an old flanel lined vinyl tablecloth.

I use the fuzzy backed table cloths from the dollar store and thumb tack them to my wall. On occasion I take my lint roller to it and make the fuzzies stand up again, but they work great (for me).

I have used basting spray before on the design wall and it works great!
