How to make a sleeve for a wall hanging.
Smaller quilts can be hung with purchased clips sewn on tabs or pins applied to the corners.
For a larger wall hanging make the sleeve 9 inches long.
This new system requires some give in the sleeve on the quilt so the rod can slip over the hanging hook properly.
Adding a hanging sleeve may take a few more minutes but it will be worth it in the long run.
The finished sleeve will be less than half of the cut size.
Larger quilts require a hanging sleeve attached to the back to accommodate a wooden dowel or decorative curtain rod.
Measure and cut the sleeve fabric to size for your fabric art.
Now since my wall hanging is small and a 4 wide sleeve is quite unnecessary i ve cut my strip to 8 x 5 8 for the width of the wall hanging and 5 instead of 8 1 2 which is what you would need to make a 4 wide sleeve.
The finished size of my wall hanging is 8 x 15.
