How to hang a quilt
Quilts are not only used as bedding, but also as an object of decoration. Display your artwork, your prized family heirloom, or your valuable purchase by hanging it on the wall for all to see. Hang it like a curtain, frame it like a picture, or just use Velcro to avoid poking holes in the wall. With a detailed placement and intensive care, the quilt can last even longer than using it as a blanket.
Part 1 Decide on a method to hang it
1
Use a hanging rod. [1] Please measure the width of the quilt so that you can purchase the correct size rod. Then use the tape measure, a leveler, and a pencil to mark on the wall where you want the rod holders to be attached to each end. Screw the brackets securely in place. Insert the rod through the quilt sleeve or grommets and then place the rod in the holders. [2]
- Install a third bracket to hold the rod down the center for quilts that are over 4 feet (1 meter) wide.
- When you measure to determine where the brackets will go, mark where the tops and bottoms of each bracket will be and the holes for the screws.
- If possible, work with someone else who can stand back a certain distance to check that the marks are level.
- To make mounting the brackets easier, drill a shallow test hole for each brand for the screws. Remove the screw and place the bracket on the wall with the screw holes aligned over the test holes.
2
Hang the quilt with velcro. Purchase adhesive-backed velcro strips. Attach two strips to the back of the quilt, one at each top corner. Glue more strips at regular intervals across the top back for extra support. Then measure the distance between each strip. Measure the wall and mark with a pencil where each strip is to be glued. Lay the strips over each mark and then hang the quilt by pressing the strips against the wall. [3]
- Please note that some wall paints may be resistant to adhesive backing. [4]
- Alternatively, screw or nail a board to the wall and place the velcro strips over it. Choose a board that is 2 inches (5.1 cm) wide and one-half inch (1 cm) thick. Cut the length of the board 2 to 4 inches shorter than the width of the quilt so it won't show through.
- Use more strips than you think you will need to make sure they support the weight of the quilt. Align the top at frequent intervals, or double, triple, or quadruple the number of strips you use at each interval.
- Strips can be double secured to the quilt by sewing or pinning.
- This method works best with the smallest and lightest quilts.
3
Frame the quilt. Choose a wooden frame that is slightly larger than the quilt. Lay the frame upside down on a clean cotton sheet. Fold the ends of the sheet over the back of the frame and staple them so that the fabric is taut across the front of the frame. Then place the frame face down on the back of the quilt and hand sew the fabric to the back of the quilt. Sew a parallel zigzag pattern from top to bottom or side to side across the entire quilt. [5]
- Hang the frame from the corners with nails or screws or as instructed by whatever tools are used.
- Do not cover the quilt with glass. Blocking air circulation can lead to mold.
- Use rust-free staples to avoid staining.
Part 2 Choose where to hang it
1
Choose a spacious area. Obviously choose a wall that is large enough to accommodate the quilt. Also, consider large and spacious rooms for hanging larger quilts. Allow viewers to admire them both from afar and up close. [6]
2
Make your quilt pop. Consider the color or tone of the wall paint or wallpaper when looking for a suitable place to hang it. Choose rooms that have colors that contrast with the quilt. Hang it where it stands out from its surroundings and catches people's attention. [7]
3
Opt for artificial light. Avoid hanging the quilt where it will be in direct contact with natural sunlight. Prevents fading away from ultraviolet rays. Use artificial light to illuminate it. [8] [9]
4
Avoid environments with extreme temperatures. Lean for rooms with temperatures that are continuously moderate. (18 to 24 ° C or 65 to 75 ° F). Avoid areas with poor air circulation and high humidity, as it can lead to mold. Also avoid hanging the quilt near radiators, heating or air conditioning ducts, and other sources of humidity and extreme temperatures. [10] [11]
5
Hang the quilt out of the reach of pets. Make sure its bottom hangs high so it can't be damaged. Consider both the floor and the furniture that your pets can climb on, such as the back of the sofa, the bed, or the headboard or shelves. Don't let the quilt turn into a towel or a toy. [12]
Part 3 Caring for the quilt
1
Let the quilt rest. Be aware that the constant pull of the weight of a hung quilt can damage and weaken its seams over time. Take it out once every six weeks to avoid a lot of damage. You can alternate it with another quilt for the next six weeks or hang it up again, but this time upside down. [13] [14]
2
Vacuum it frequently. Eliminate dust to preserve the fibers of the quilt. Make sure the floor or table is clean before you spread it out on them. Use a handheld vacuum with minimal suction to avoid damaging the seams. Spread a fiberglass or nylon screen (or coffee filter) over the vacuum's small brush attachment to further reduce suction. Keep the strokes smooth and even as you go. Replace the screen or filter, if necessary, as dust builds up. [15] [16]
3
Soak it in moderation. For a more thorough clean, use a long sheet to line a clean bathtub, kiddie pool, or other container that is large enough to submerge the entire quilt. Place it on top and fill the container with a mixture of 15 grams (half an ounce) of mild laundry detergent for every 3 liters (1 gallon) of water. Let it get wet without touching it. Drain the container and press the quilt between your hand and the container to remove the soap. Flatten it with a clean towel to remove the soapy water. Hold the ends of the sheet and remove the quilt from the container. Stretch it out on a clean, non-porous surface and let it air dry. [17] [18]
- Use a vacuum as your primary cleaning method to avoid damaging the quilt with over-washing.
- Do not soak the quilt if it has: dye (s) that can run: shiny fabrics, silk or cotton; signs of weak stitching or other damage.
- Washers, dryers, dry cleaning and ironing can ruin the quilt.
