try washing it and do not use fabric softener, so as to keep the static cling

Walmart has a dehumidifier working and you may have a little more humidity in your home than in the store thus less static.

Sometime one side of flannel has more fuzz than the other?

My design wall is made from a huge sheet of microfleece, pinned to the wall. The blocks stuck much better after i folded the sheet in half. So maybe the folded layers were a factor, cushier = clingier?

I love your avatar!

I use flannel back tablecloths from Walmart $5.00 get the largest one they have and tack it on the wall I have 3 of them on the walls since I do retreats at my home. you need to smooth the blocks on the flannel. I have almost a whole quilt up on one now until I ran out of room at the bottom. it is all staying there... good luck..

Felt on my wall. Everything sticks pretty good unless the ceiling fan is on then all bets are off. A few pins helps a lot.

Ok, I was enjoying my new design wall last night but then found my little stinker had also found a way to enjoy it - my kitty was rolled up in the bottom! Wish I could get a picture.

I'm going to try the basting spray today (just picked some up yesterday).

I tried fleece yesterday and I don't have big enough pieces.
Thanks for the suggestions & avatar compliments!

I discovered that when my design wall was hanging loose the ceiling fan moved it enough to shake the blocks off. When the A/C kicked on it would do the same thing. My design wall is now rigid and I don't have that problem. A whole quilt top will stick to it!

Possible that if it was in a plastic wrap at the store that it was full of static. Once home and out of the wrapper it may have lost it's charge. Ann in Tn
