What You Need To Know About Quilt Wall Hanger

By Kristen Baird


Unless you get the full image of and entire piece of art, you cannot grasp the totality of its look. For artists, the need to see their final output is necessary not only for satisfaction purposes but also for professionalism. Any final check before presenting it in front of the public should be done with the full image in view.

It does not matter what the purpose of the quilt is. If the end goal is to make it look appealing to people, then you must first verify yourself the beauty of the whole image. A quilt wall hanger is a good aid to do this. If you plan on bringing the design somewhere else, this could provide you easier means to transport the entire piece.

When making one, the first step you need to do is to measure that width of your design. Find a cloth that will serve as the rod sleeve and cut it exactly the same width as that of the design. Attach it to your design, fold and stitch the edge to the end of the quilt. This will create a space where you will insert the rod later on.

Speaking of the rod, find one that is thin, but is strong enough to hold the weight of the entire piece. Insert it inside the space of the strip of cloth. You should now have a leverage to carry the material around. Next is to design the hanger.

After doing this, the next step would be to secure the hanger. You have two options. You can buy a ready made one or create your own. If you choose to go for your own, you can make use of nails where you place the rod. For those who want a more stylish appeal, buying the commercial products can be a good option.

Those hangers that are portable are preferred by quilters who are always on the go and bring their materials anywhere. Those who are joining competitions want this mode as well for convenience purposes. If your work involves working within the confines of your house, then having a permanent one is the better option.

Be reminded that even hangers can be important part of the art already. If you are joining a competition for instance, it will be great if you couple your gorgeous design with a good looking hanger. Since it is on top, this is likely to be seen first by the judges. Something which blends well or complements the image that you have is a great choice.

Of course, do not forget the manufacturer. As much as possible, buy the material from a reliable source. A retailer that has been in business for a long time can be a better choice than someone who has just started. There are new businesses though that are showing great potential. Do not limit your choice and listen to what other quilters are recommending.

Art requires attention to details. Even that one thing that seemed to be unimportant can mean a lot when it comes to artist and designers. Minute details have the potential to ruin a craft. Consider your options.
