Three quilt racks, on bed, over chairs and sofa, in stacks ready to be FMQ'd, they are everywhere. Getting ready to tell my girls, (2 daughters, 1 daughter-in-law, 1 granddaughter, 2 granddaughters in law), to take what they want and then I am going to see if I can sell a lot of the others unquilted. I asked my older daughter if I should stop making so many and she said "NO" if you enjoy making them, keep going! Isn't she a sweetheart!

I staple all the way around on large ones - close to the binding, as much as needed to hold the weight evenly.

It "clamps" the quilts without hurting them, there's a little notch for the binding to set into without getting squished. He calls them "pressure racks"...it's two pieces that clamp the quilt I think is more accurate. :)

That may help us understand what you have!
Thanks!!

Would really like to see a picture when done. Sounds like a great idea.

I have mine hanging on the walls--I go to JoAnns and buy the decorative rods and then buy the packages of hooks and clips (can't remember the name but you will know them when u see them) and you can put as many across your quilt that you need.

I like to drape mine over the upstairs railing, even the ones that are not sandwiched and quilted yet ... kinda reminds me I need to finish them.
I change out quilts by season or holiday.
Also have some hanging on my walls and on my quilt rack. And love the idea of making more and more.
Interestingly, I don't have any on beds. Well makes sense since I don't make large quilts.
