How To Hang A Quilted Wall Hanging. Since we're swapping mini quilts that can be used as wall art, I thought it might be helpful to give you some tips about how to hang your quilt and get them ready to display. To hang a quilt, start by purchasing a hanging rod that's at least as long as your quilt is wide.
A hanging sleeve allows a quilt to hang evenly, preventing the stretch that nearly always occurs when you secure the project to a wall with a series of pins or other fasteners.
A quilt hanging sleeve can be permanent or temporary and it can be sewn on after or at the same time you apply binding.
When you make a quilted wall hanging, one thing you need to decide on is how you will hang the quilt on the wall. They are good to use if your quilt doesn't have a hanging sleeve. Also, easy to adjust by pulling out the extendable rod for different quilt sizes (and to make sure the quilt hangs straight on the wall).
