My solution came by accident. My daughter had moved out and left her queen size box springs in my spare room. Well, it was standing there by the door to my sewing room and it hit me. And a design wall was born. It worked out great; it's large, soft enough to put pins in to hold the fabric and yet very sturdy. I no longer have it sitting up against the wall but that spare bed is still there just waiting for me to use the box springs if the need arises.
