I was lucky to find one at Joann Fabrics that is temporary you hang with command hooks. It has flannel to hang the fabric and works great.

I can take it down any time I need to take it with me and it adds to the finished look of my sewing room. The center is flannel and the rest is cotton.<br /><br />You can check out the the blog post and pictures if you're interested. http://bittybitsandpieces.blogspot.com/2012/04/sewing-room-makeover.htmlKim Walushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07867301434590115299noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-820284652281498902013-09-21T10:01:36.944-04:002013-09-21T10:01:36.944-04:00I have purchased the Vanishing Design Wall which i...I have purchased the Vanishing Design Wall which is a roll up shade that mounts in a wooden box over a closet door. I love it! Only issue is when you roll it up with pieces attached they get a little wrinkled. Otherwise I am very happy with it<br />http://mustardseed-becky.blogspot.com/2013/04/design-wall-april-29-2013.htmlBeckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08220662878474665478noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-25028439740405941642013-09-21T09:15:07.300-04:002013-09-21T09:15:07.300-04:00I use the foam insulation board that you can buy a...I use the foam insulation board that you can buy at hardware stores, but it is the THICK board - about 2 inches thick. It stands on its own without bowing - a problem I had with the thin stuff. I've had no problems with pins going through the board and into the wall, and I can slide it easily when I need to move it. I plan to make a second one so that I can arrange blocks for larger quilts. When I don't need that much design space, I'll slide one behind the other. Well worth the mid thirty dollar price of the insulation board.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-33134475856413844472013-09-21T06:45:57.552-04:002013-09-21T06:45:57.552-04:00I'd love to have a BIG design wall too. But I ...I'd love to have a BIG design wall too. But I would have to get rid of some stuff! I used to use felt over a foam board that had been used for a science display, easy, stapled to the faom and folds. Recently I took the felt off, and stapled it to my sliding closet door. However I often end up w pieces on the floor too, as the design wall it only so big! The foam science project board was an easy inexpensive project, but storing it became a problem too. There are some pics on my blog.Carolyn Sullivanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16591809412054783126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-13063332452062281942013-09-20T23:09:11.631-04:002013-09-20T23:09:11.631-04:00My family room has a cathedral ceiling.

So here back at home I now have a room to make into my new quilting studio. This post is just in time to help me design a very versatile well thought out space. I am looking forward to having a real design wall.

I got two 24" x 18" stretched artist canvas, laid them side by side, taped them together front and back with duct tape, and stapled flannel over all. I now have a 24" x 36" design wall that I can hang on the wall.<br /><br />Myrna in KYMyrnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08525786361826272287noreply@blogger.com
