    Default Design Wall...how to?

    I want to do a design wall that I can also use to hang, spray baste and sandwich the quilt. What do you gals use as your design wall?

    I used poly batting with sticky Velcro. It's on a storage cabinet. I took off the handles and cut it down the middle so I can get in there. You will love having one!

    I went easy - mine is the Fons and Porter Design Wall, hung on command hooks. I'm lucky to have a large enough space behind my bedroom door.

    Me 3 - Fons and Porter on Command hooks. Works for me. I don't do any spray basting, but do love having a design wall.

    I also have the fons and porter -less than a year of using it and I am finding fabric does not stay on as well as it did in the beginning. Is this normal to happen?

    I have an empty wall and use a flannel blanket walmart - my fabric will almost stick without pinning, it is easy for me to stick my pins into and move my fabric around.

    Take a bristle brush and rough it up lightly! Back in business for a long time.

    I wouldn't use one to spray baste though - I would worry about over-spray and a sticky build-up.

    This could be dangerous.

    When you get cold just go stand in the corner.
    They are usually 90 degrees.

    A giraffe's coffee would be cold by the time it reached the bottom of his throat.
    Ever think about that? No? You only think about yourself??
