Unless you are entering a show and it's required!

I've used similar steps but I added a full hanging sleeve to the mini (that's what I was taught and I didn't know I could break the rules!). <br /><br />My trick is to use a paint stir stick as it is super flat and very light weight. I will go back and drill the centre hole in the wood though, that's brilliant! And should have been obvious too.Nicolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13458070354803313376noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4580965803850912868.post-85873898181012208882016-01-13T21:32:50.973-06:002016-01-13T21:32:50.973-06:00I use the Command picture hanging strips for my sm...I use the Command picture hanging strips for my small quilts. When I first tried it I wasn't sure the strip would stick to the fabric but they are all still hanging. Easy peasy! I've used your method for a couple larger wall hangings and love how easy it is.

The biggest I have done is a 3' in length with this method. I drilled a larger hole and hung it on a bigger nail for more support.
