design wall
what do you use for a design wall. I was using flannel backed table cloths but they are about worthless now seems like the flannel is not very good on them and I purchased them at dollar store. I have looked other places for them in department stores but have not found any. So was at fabric store the other day and she said she used felt. So got some of that I do not have to pin everything

I covered two sheets of insulation with white flannel on a curtain
rod...pinned the sides and bottom. When it gets dirty I can remove
the flannel and wash. Of course it will be more "sticky" when the
flannel is new. Putting a few pins to attach my blocks don't bother
me. Beats having to crawl on the floor or over a bed.

I don"t have/use a design wall. I sew in my dining room, and there is literally not any open vertical space to use. If I absolutely need to see how something "flows" I have tacked things to the front of my china hutch!

Suggestion .... a piece of corroplast would slide behind your hutch, and would lean up against the hutch when you want to use it. Could stab pins through to hold blocks on to it. Or could cover the corroplast with fleece, and the blocks will stick to it without the pins.

I use my bed as my design wall. I don't crawl on the bed, it would mess up the quilt blocks. I just walk around the end and sides of bed, on the floor. Same as when I go to bed. After I like the arrangement I number all blocks W/ Crayola washable markers. Yes, the markers all wash completely out all the time and always.
