I have a double closet in my sewing room. I purchased the easy to install "Quik hang" curtain brackets, a curtain rod the length of my closet that fits the brackets. I install on my top molding of the closet. I bought a wide piece of flannel with the grid, sewed a rod pocket. Viola! The rod/brackets do not hinder the opening and closing of my closet because they are above the doors. I can bring the flannel to the side and use a tieback when not in use. Also, I got the wide grid flannel for block placement, but I wish I had purchased a more coordinated flannel to match my decor. But, I still love it.
I sooooo want one of these moveable board - I dragged my 'handy-man' husband over to watch. Tomorrow I'm off to the shops to buy STUFF! Anne Kennedy - New Zealand
I really enjoyed watching you plan and implement your ideas. I use a Cheryl’s portable flannel design wall or a quilt display hanger with heavy duty flannel handing from it. Neither are very movable as things fall off and they are not on wheels. But….you have given me some great ideas about using castors on the display stand or putting the portable flannel display on the garment cart I have on my attic 👏🏻
My sister is a quilter and I figured out how to make a rolling design wall for her about 10 years ago. We made it double sided. I took one of those $10.00 rolling garment racks from Walmart and 2 pieces of that 4 x 8 insulation board from Home Depot, and wrapped them in flannel and attached them with the velcro ties like you used, but we slit the insulation and pushed the velcro ties through it, so no glue involved. We then just attached one on each side of the rolling rack so she can work on two different projects at the same time. She can just flip it around to whichever side she is working on and move it where she needs it to be and move it out of the way when she is not using it and needs more room. We originally did it because the room she was using as her sewing room was a sunroom with lots of windows and not much wall space to put her boards on. Her first space she just had them leaning up against the wall, but they were warping. On this rack that doesn't happen. We actually made two sets of them. The house she is in now, she usually just uses one set of them.
I like how yours was two sided! I'm wondering if mine will start warping in its slightly reclined position on the cart. I may end up adding extra velcro ties. Thanks for watching and sharing about your build!
👏👏👏 I like your idea, planning, presentation and perseverance!!! I must say the ”piece de resistance” would be the trial samples making The Hungry Catepillar😝🥰 Thank you for giving us this opportunity! ❤️😀
My aunt is an awesome quilter she goes to a quilt shop in Mass and they us in the shop those plastic table clothes you put on a table with the fuzzy stuff on the back and it works. You can get them for like under 5 each and they tack it to the wall they have it in king, queen, full and twin . Mt aunt said it works great.
You can also get various sizes of flannel backed tablecloths at The Dollar Tree and if it wears out or gets messed up in any way, it does not cost much to replace or update them.
Very innovative! I usually just tear longer lengths of flannel to yield a straight line on grain. For lighting, could you attach a long thin clamp style desk lamp to the trolley leg? Amazon has a ton of options. Thanks for reminding me about the 108 in wide flannel, instead of seaming together reg width flannel to cover mine!
Thank you for the great video! My sewing room is upstairs and has the slanting ceiling like yours. I only use it for sewing, not a spare bedroom. I used decorative button pins and just pinned my flannel directly to the wall. Looking forward to your next video! 🎃🎃🎃
I have a folding screen (lightweight, canvas art screen, bought on Amazon). I’ll just drape the flannel over the top (maybe a bit of tape on the back side). I can fold it up and set it out of the way.
I like that you can fold it up. Recently I had to put the design boards behind that wave wall hanging and put the cart in the closet when I had guests. They were able to hang their clothes on the cart...imagine that!
@@StitchingaPath yes! I have a very small space, I turn my front room into a guest room (using the screen!). I would love to have a cart, it would certainly solve my "where to put the ironed clothes while I am still ironing" problem. Everything has to fold up and/or have multiple uses.
That is so cool. New sub here. The pipe thingies are called pipe insulation or Armaflex. I desperately need a designwall, too. I bought ceiling mount curtain rods from Ikea to make one, but this will not happen this year. Hopefully, this will be a 2025 project.
Well done with the design wall it looks great. I love your sewing room. It’s awesome. One thing caught my eye though, the couch. I have been looking for a new couch because our pets have ruined our current couch. I love that your couch cover seems to be staying well in place. I am wondering if you can tell me where you got the couch. Thanks
The sofa is the "Kivik" model from Ikea and they still sell it. I've covered it with a quilt I bought from Target several years ago. Easy to wash when needed! Thank you for watching!
Loved watching you create this. I was thinking you could velcro or tape a like 8 or longer' pole or wood to each side of the roller frame. They would extend up high enough on each end, stabilizing the upper board., I made mine out of the 2" home insulation and screwed into the wall, I like your moveable idea better, my lighting sucks. You didnt describe what you were doing with the lighting. Was it for the front or back? New sub! You're a delight to watch!
I definitely could have been clearer about the lighting! I need it for making videos on cloudy days, and need to be able to roll it around my sewing space. Thanks for the stability pole idea. Maybe long wooden dowels would work, as long as they are thick enough? And thank you so much for subscribing!
Love your cats pillow! My design wall is from Fons & Porter. My husband made me a huge wooden frame and stapled the F&P wall to the frame, then screwed the frame into the wall. It worked great. A couple of pieces of PVC pipe might offer enough support on the back?
I think it's going to be ok after all when both panels are stacked and the cart is parked. It's so tall with both of them that I can't really wheel it around much!

I like that wheelie cart thingy.
It has actually been very helpful when I had guests recently. They used it to hang their clothes! Multi-purpose!

Quick hang curtain bracket?? Brand??
Thanks for sharing your idea 😊😊 trying to decide which direction I'm going with design wall options
Grid flannel? Hmmm...sounds extremely useful!! I love how creative people get when making these design boards/walls. Thanks for sharing!
This is also a possibility for me. Thank you for telling.
Will Check that before buying insulating board
@@pamelavance648 KWIK HANG sorry!
Where did you buy wide
Grid flannel ?

All the way from New Zealand! Wow! Thank you for watching!
Anne, any chance he could duck over to Melbourne when he's done?? 😂
Was it a Bunnings run…or Mitre10? 😂

It took me a moment...the hungry caterpillar....OH HA HA HAHAHA !
Great idea with the rolling rack. Love it.
Glad you liked it! Thanks for watching!
❤ that was interesting, great idea!
I'm so glad you watched and enjoyed! Thanks!
By the way, this is an absolutely fabulous idea!!!!
Thanks so much for watching!

Well that would have saved me a little money! I didn't even think about that fuzzy backing. And king size would have been perfect!
You can also get various sizes of flannel backed tablecloths at The Dollar Tree and if it wears out or gets messed up in any way, it does not cost much to replace or update them.
That's so cool. And I can think of many uses for a rig like that!
You know I appreciate you watching these videos!!
Very clever. great job and well done. CONGRATULATIONS
Thank you very much!
Tape yardsticks across the the back connecting pannels for extra support.
You're right, yardsticks could definitely work! I'll see how much my local hardware store sells them for. Thanks for watching!
@@StitchingaPath did some searching. Beacons Hold The Foam. Comes highly recommended.
Wow, thanks for that info!!
Thank you so much! That is just the what I need.
Will try to make a moveable design wall using all your good tips.
I hope you make one and that you find it useful! I'm about to start using mine with a hexagon project. Thanks a million for watching!
I'd like to see a video of how you use a design wall
I'll be using it in my next video, hopefully out in two weeks or so. Thanks for watching!
I used peel and stick corkboard on my bedroom wall. Best decision in 40 years.
Corkboard never even crossed my mind! I love your idea!

I get nervous about trying to tear fabric! Thanks for the suggestion of the clamp lamp. I'll check out the options!
Very clever! I enjoyed all the thought you put into this project! Can't wait to see your next video!
Thanks so much! 😊
I use a flannel tablecloth tacked to the wall works perfectly. Used for several years
Great idea!
I don’t sew big projects, but I watched your video with great interest❤❤
I'm so glad you watched! I appreciate it!

Use pins to keep your fabric in place.
I'm sure I'll be relying quite a bit on pins!

E6000 glue? Or would that due the same thing?
When I was at Joann yesterday, I looked at E6000 and it, too, is not recommended for polystyrene. But thanks anyways for the idea!
Pin what won't stick???
Definitely!
