Hanging Information

All quilts in the show must have a hanging sleeve. For a quick tutorial on how to make a hanging sleeve watch this video from Fons and Porter https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7NO70_ENjQk

Sleeve Instructions:

For quilts up to 48”wide – use a 2” sleeve. Set the sleeve 2” back from the edges of the quilt
For quilts between 48 1/4” and 72” wide – use a 3” sleeve. Set the sleeve 2” back from the edges of the quilt. NOTE: if you have already attached a 4” sleeve to a quilt larger than 48” please don’t worry about changing it, we will cope. For quilts under 48” a sleeve larger than 2” doesn’t work.
For quilts above 72” wide – use a 4” sleeve. Set the sleeve 3” back from the edges of the quilt. Sleeves MUST be sewn on. No pins. No glue. Be sure to end off stitching with a knot so the weight of the quilt doesn’t pull out the stitching.
Your name and phone number must be written in ink on the right hand side of the sleeve.

You will also need to provide a 1/2″ dowel for any quilt that is less than 48″. Screw eye hooks will be provided on request.

Purchase a ½” dowel available at Rona, Home Depot, Canadian Tire
Cut your dowel the length of your hanging sleeve PLUS ½”. If you ask Rona or Home Depot they will usually cut it to length for you.
Install the hooks at the ends of the rod. If you need help with this bring to the May meeting
Insert the rod into the sleeve
To attach the rod to the quilt, use a ribbon or scrap strip of material. Tie one end to an eye hook and use a small safety pin to attach the other end to the sleeve. This will ensure your dowel remains with your quilt. Keep the ribbon short enough that it isn’t visible from the front of the quilt
To transport your quilt to the venue gently roll it -right side facing out to prevent wrinkles – and bring it to drop off. We will supply plastic bags to protect it.
