    I need some info about a design wall. I want something thats actually going to hold my fabric up good and I dont want to spend alot of money on it. I have a small sewing room so it cant be huge. What are you all using? Thanks

    Flannel backed tablecloth put on wall, behind door to sewing room. Just put it up wiht thumbtacks. If I need to use it all I have to do is close the door. When door is open it is covered and pattern is "protected".

    Mine is a 4x4 piece of 1/4" luaun (thin plywood) covered with a layer of padding (an old bedspread) and some anti pill fleece.

    I have a flannel sheet pinned to the wall. Works great for me!

    Thank you, my husband help design my room. He built the cabinet you see (the painted one). And my sewing table was a gift from him last Christmas.

    Mine is the Fons & porter design wall. I got it at Joanne's when the notions wall was on 50% off and I have a VIP card so I got another 10% off. Its about 50 x 70 and I think by the time all the deductions were off it I paid about $8 for it. I use a $5 curtian rod to put it up.

    Exactly what I use. Sometimes I have to add a straight pin here in there, if the block is heavy, or I'm holding up a whole row.

    I took over a room that was an office/spare bed room. I took the desk out but had no where for the mattress and box spring. I needed the space the mattress took so i put it on end and draped a flannel like fabric over it. When my sister is over to use the quilter, it takes 3 minutes to set the bed up. in the living room. I just roll up the project and fold it until the mattress is put back upright.
