Things To Remember When Buying Or Creating Quilt Wall Hanger

By Kristen Baird


You have your finished product. You take one look at it but find it difficult to get a view of the entire image. The most practical way for you to address this concern is to create a mechanism that will allow you to stand back, and view the craft vertically.

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.

For those who want to personalize their own, the basic thing that you need to provide is the width of the design. Measure it well and secure a cloth. Cut a portion of that cloth that corresponds to the measurement that you have gotten. Attach it to the end of the piece by stitching. Get a hold of the other end and join it together with the other edge. A circular portion or a space will then be created.

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.

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.

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.
