That's what I am worried about...I convinced my DH to get the foam board at Lowes the other night. Now it sits in my sewing room, I stare at it trying to decide...how big to cut it?......how to hang it? if to hang it at all. Meanwhile it just leans there. LOL I guess it'll hit me one day how I want it.
I have 2 binyl tablecloths with flannel backing. I hang these on the wall with push pins and the fabric stays. It's great for blocks; however, if you are hanging large sections sewn together or long strips, the weight of the fabric may be too much and things will fall off. I'm still happy with it and the price! I would NOT spray baste. I was at a group meeting yesterday and one of the discussions was about spray basting (which I do a LOT in my well ventilated sewing room). Evidently the spray (even though we all try to avoid it) gets in your machines and basically on everything. I'm rethinking the spray basting approach...

I have a budget saving one made from extra thick cardboard from an appliance box that I picked up for free from our local Sears appliance store. They usually have the boxes broken down for trash onsite. My husband picked up several pieces and I chose the best couple and used one for a design wall. I covered it with adhesive shelf paper...the contact type paper so I can wipe it off if I need to. I lean it against a wall when I am using it and store it in the garage or spare bedroom when I am not. It measures about 4 feet by 6 feet and is about 3/4 inches thick. You can use pushpins or sewing pins to attach your blocks to it. Very sturdy and longlasting and FREE.

I used drywall screws to mount sound insulation board to the wall in my back hall. I used two 4' x 8' sheets and covered it with a painter's drop cloth. The drop cloth is slightly fuzzy so small pieces will stick without pins. I can easily pin anything else on. I framed it out with slats from an old wooden blind.
