You can also staple if your pattern helps hide the staples.
I'm seeing a lot of suggestions using starch. My question would be does it attract bugs like ants or roaches?
i did it when we lived in orlando... we had some bugs to start with (cheap first married apartment) but we didn't have any more (or less, lol) than any of the neighbors..
used the starch to cover up my oldest dd bedroom in one old apartment where the horsehair plaster was starting to crumble.. just got a bunch of topsheets on sale & covered it all up.. i think i may still have some of those left... they have been dropcloths & rags & a couple quilt backs (they were pink flowered, didn't go with much!)
