Pockets vs hanging sleeve.
So I am making a quilt that will be about 73" square. I want to hang it up. I was assuming that I would need to make a hanging sleeve. I recently saw a youtube video where this professional quilter (Lori Holt) just folds 10" squares on the diagonal and sews them into the binding to make pockets. She then uses a dowel or piece of molding cut to size to insert in the pockets and hangs them that way.
What do you think? That sounds a lot easier then a hanging sleeve. Plus I understand that it is wise to have a way to hang quilts from both sides because of stretching or something like that.
This is the video...
