I read a tip on this board months ago that said the back of a vinyl tablecloth works. I went out to my cupboard in the garage and pulled out one that was about 5 yrs old and well used, turned it over and tacked it to the wall and it works like a dream.

I used 2 1/2 yds flannel backed fake leather as thick as I could get. (JoAnn's using a 40% off coupon) Screwed it onto the wall using a 1 x 2 piece of wood also 2 1/2 yds. long. Fabric behind the wood. I was going to also put the wood on the bottom but found I didn't need to as it hung so well. Mine is in my quilting loft so I can only hang it the width of the fabric. You could hang it as high on the wall as you would like to.

I read that a 4X8 sheet of insulation board covered with flannel is the best way to go. The flannel holds the fabric in place without pins. I don't have room for one so I put a piece of flannel over the door in my sewing room. Since the flannel hangs straight down I do have to use pins. Of course this only works on crib quilts or small lap quilts, anything bigger and I have to go to the floor. :thumbup:

went to the local lumber yard and asked about insulation foam about 1/8 to 1/4. GAve me a nice pc. they could not use for anything it was chopped up, then added an old flannel blanket and voila a design board. This is stuck to a wall in my sewing room by T-pins so I can move it.

I used flannel, push pinned to wall. If it gets slick and won't hold on to fabric, I brush it gently with a soft brush. I have a finished baby quilt top pressed to it now. Has been holding it for several days with no pins.

an area on your wall where you can put your quilt squares and see your quilt come together before you sew it.

Same thing, only I covered it with flannel I purchased at Joann's in a medium gray, so as not to impact colors.

LOL. My "design" wall is a twin bed standing up againt the wall (to clear space) with a piece of flannel on it.

Mine is 48 inch square, hung on wall, covered with felt. DH had a piece of scrap plywood, covered it for me and hung on wall at my eye level (not his). Works great and is right size.
