I used my JoAnn's coupon and got A Fons & Porter one-just waiting to go home from summer to put it up.

I used that rigid insulation from Lowes or Home Depot too...covered it with flannel. The pieces stick without pinning...or you can put pins in it...either way it works well and is very inexpensive. I like the idea of being able to roll it up like the window shade. I wonder if you can put flannel on a window shade and roll it up? If anyone tries this, please let us know. BTW...the bigger the better.

Here is a link to a product that I saw at a quilt show last year. It has a flannel wall on a roll up but the mechanism is heavy duty.

I have one made with the rigid insulation, but I bought 2- 2x8 pieces instead of 1 4x8. They are tonge and groove, covered them with extra wide felt from Joanns (on sale) and lean them against my cupboard, I have no free wall space in my 10 x ll sewing room. It is very light so you can move it easily but you can also take them apart and fold so they are then 2' wide instead of 4'. I can put a whole lap quilt on it. I love it.

I have a very small sewing room so when I need a design wall I attach one of those cardboard cutting boards to two curtain rods or 1 x 2 board with binder clips from the office supply store. Then I hang a flannel backed table cloth (I got mine for $1) flannel side out. I lean this against my cupboard (or anywhere you like) It works great and will fold away when I don't need it

I just made one using 2 felt panels I found at walmart in the blanket area for $5 they are 64x48 and sewed in the middle and hung it from curtain clips from my picture moulding. I works like a charm and easy to take down if needed.

Like Melinda in Tulsa, I purchased the Fons and Porter design wall on sale and I love it. My only problem is that now I am making an oversized king size quilt and the design wall is not large enough for that. If I can clear out sufficient wall space, I'll add another one beside the one I now have and then everything I could possibly make would fit.

and if they ever stop sticking because you're pressing the blocks to it like mine did, take a brush over it and loosen up the little fibers, just a quick swipe over it does the job!

good idea with the bi-fold doors. I never thought of that. Thanks for the information. They would be decorated also and make it nicer to look around.

Thanks.

I'm limited to space at this point in time as many of us are. So my solution was to binder clip a large piece of batting (warm & natural) to a shelf edge on one of my walls. The batting is 7 ft long and hangs above the floor and it's 90" wide - which for me is larger than most of the quilts I work on. It's draped over all the items I hang on my peg wall (tools, accessories, etc..) Hides a lot of stuff and is extremely useful!
