Selecting A Quilt Design Wall Hanger

By Harriett Crosby


A quilt design wall hanger provides an artistic hanging solution. It offers a way of displaying items like quilts, rugs and tapestries without causing any damage. The items are held securely without having to make any holes or sew on tabs.

Many wonderful designs are available at local and online stores. Browsing online is a helpful and easy way of comparing styles and prices. This enables you to select the perfect design to compliment your taste and decor style. For example, if you have a country style house, there are many beautiful items available with shelves, grooves for displaying plates and cut-outs like hearts.

These hangers work in different ways. Some of them simply require placing the edge of your hanging between two rails and tightening the knobs. The knobs are placed above the hanging so they will not puncture it or damage it in any way. More knobs are required to support a heavy hanging and they may also be customized to specifications if necessary. Hangers usually have a binding groove located on both inner, lower edges. This groove ensures an even hang, no slippage and prevents too much pressure from being placed on the hanging. Hangers are attached to the wall in different ways. Some have keyhole slots on the back make hanging on a wall easy.

As there are so many stores offering these items, it is important to select a reputable supplier, preferably one who has been in business for some time. Browsing online stores offers an opportunity to compare designs and prices. Reading customer reviews is another helpful way of finding out more about a company. A design, size, material and finish must be selected when placing an order. Some companies offer customization with regard to size and other details like the number, length and decor of knobs.

Woods like walnut, cherry, oak, maple and pine can be selected. They may be stained, painted or treated with lacquers, depending on the type of wood. The wood and type of finish chosen depends entirely on your personal taste and decor style. You may choose to buy unfinished hangers and stain or paint them yourself. A paint-grade maple is an excellent smooth wood if you want a paint finish.

The finish on the item is very important as you do not want one that will transfer to your hanging. There are suppliers who use lacquers for finishing that prevent any natural wood oils or stains from penetrating the fabric. Some recommend wrapping a piece of natural muslin around the top edge before clamping it to protect it from staining.

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.
