Buying A Quilt Design Wall Hanger

By Harriett Crosby


When one has a beautiful item for hanging, a quilt design wall hanger is a perfect solution. It not only displays the item in an artistic manner but does not damage it in any way. Tabs do not have to be sewn on and no holes have to be made in the fabric.

There are many different designs available and selection of a particular style will depend on your own taste and the style of your home. For example, in a country style house, a style including a shelf and a plate groove is appropriate. Instead of detracting from your decor, it should add to it.

Not all of these hangers work in the same way. Many of them work like a clamp, with two rails and some knobs. One places the edge of the fabric between the rails and tightens the knobs. More knobs are needed if a hanging is really heavy. A binding groove on the rails at the lower, inner sides makes sure that the hanging does not slip out or hang unevenly. The ways of attaching hangers to the walls also varies with the use of keyhole slots being a popular method.

There are many local and online stores supplying these items. It is easy to browse a number of sites in order to make comparisons of styles and prices before placing an order. When ordering you are offered a choice of sizes, styles, wood types and finishes. Some customization is also possible.

You can make a choice from a wide variety of materials. Woods like maple, oak, cherry, pine and walnut are available. The wood may be left unfinished and painted or stained by the customer to suit their style. Some suppliers use clear lacquer on the wood to finish it.

An object can be damaged by stains and oils from the wood penetrating the fabric. The right finishing, such as the proper lacquer, should prevent this from happening. Some manufacturers actually supply natural muslin at minimal extra cost to wrap around the top edge of your hanging to protect it from any damage.

One should measure the width and length of a hanging before placing an order. If hangers extend too far beyond the edges, this may cause sagging and look unattractive. The length must be at least as long as a hanging and an inch or two longer on each side is acceptable. Most times one of the standard sizes offered suffice but if not some companies do offer to customize the size.

A quilt design wall hanger attractively displays your hanging with firm support. It should not cause uneven pressure points or holes which damage the fibers. Select a reputable company with a good track record and you will have an item that is not only an addition to your home but displays the beauty of your hanging to its best advantage.
