The best way to take a better look at the design of your quilt is to hang it vertically. But sometimes, we go for just laying it on the floor to get away from the hassle of making hangers. For others this works just fine. For most, this is more inconvenient. Hangers exist to remedy this problem.
Whether the quilt is for personal use or for an entry in a competition, you need to have a material that will make sure people can see it. Having a quilt wall hanger is the best option to do this. The good thing is, you can personalize this so that its color blends well with the design of your quilt.
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.
If you decide to go for the commercial products, make sure that you are selective of the design. This is even more important for those who are joining competitions. You want the whole package to look good. Hangers are visible to the judges eyes. To get a good impression, buy a good looking one.
If you decide to buy, be mindful as well on the retailer. Not all sellers offer the same quality of products. Some of them may claim to produce good quality ones but are in reality imitations of the original goods. Be critical when choosing. You are paying for it. Get the best one.
You can never underestimate what a simple material can do to the whole craft. Just like how a simple black dot can be so noticeable against a white, wide background, a small part of the art can ruin or win it. Go for the winning side.
