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.
The best thing to do this is to hang the piece vertically. And using a quilt wall hanger is necessary when doing this. Having this material will ensure that you get a nice look on the art while keeping it protected from dirt that it can get if you simple place it to any kind of surface such as the floor or the table.
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.
Next, secure a rod and insert it on the available space. This should be able to carry the weight of the piece when you hang it later on. Choose a material that is durable enough to hold the material.
Then, choose the hanger. Some would go for the simplest one, something that only requires nails. With two nails of the same level, you can immediately place the rod atop it and the whole piece will then hang. There are commercial hangers however that are better looking and are affordable in price.
Whether you buy or create your own, what matters most is your purpose for it. Buying will allow you to get access to hangers with clean designs. Creating your own will save you money. Either which is good depending on you preference. Know what you need and go for it. Of course, consider your budget as well. Making your own without spending is better if you do not wish to spend any penny for the project.
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.
Of course, do not forget the manufacturer. As much as possible, buy the material from a reliable source. A retailer that has been in business for a long time can be a better choice than someone who has just started. There are new businesses though that are showing great potential. Do not limit your choice and listen to what other quilters are recommending.
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.
