My sewing room is roughly 10'x10' so I don't have any open wall space. Also my ceiling is 7' not 8' in my room, so they cut a l' off for me at Lowes. I usually make lap quilts and baby quilts, so I didn't need it any bigger until I made a Queen size quilt for my daughter. So I made another set and my son made me some large U channel's so I can hold them together. Works great. But a plate rack you hang on the wall will also work. So when I am done, I fold each put them side by side in front of my closet, now they are each 2' = 4' across the doors and I cover it with a tablecloth. When I use both they measure 8' wide and 7' high, I put the quilt on sideways, it worked out great, no more bending over the bed. I can add pic's if you need them.
    I like this idea too! Thanks.

    The doors on my closet aren't sliding doors, but I can see how that would work if they were. Thanks for thinking with me.

    Default folding design board pics

I'm loving the function in my small space, but the one thing I'm missing is a design wall, so I'm looking at ways to have one that is decent size but easy to set up only when I need it. I'm lacking wall space for a permanent one as well.
    I didn't take a pic of the whole thing together because my room is too small to get far enough away to get it all in. On the brackets my son made me, he did 2 large to join both pieces top and bottom. And 2 small ones for keep each section straight just on top before I join the 2 to each other with the lg ones.

    the small ones were a little too loose, so I took a small piece of board and wrapped it with the fabric I have on my wall to make them more snug, then screwed the board to the brackets. Worked perfectly and I duck taped the edges so it wouldn't rip the fabric, seeing they are metal. I didn't have to do anything to the plate rack.

    If you need more pics let me know.
