Unless you get the full image of and entire piece of art, you cannot grasp the totality of its look. For artists, the need to see their final output is necessary not only for satisfaction purposes but also for professionalism. Any final check before presenting it in front of the public should be done with the full image in view.
Whether the quilt is for personal use or for an entry in a competition, you need to have a material that will make sure people can see it. Having a quilt wall hanger is the best option to do this. The good thing is, you can personalize this so that its color blends well with the design of your quilt.
For those who want to personalize their own, the basic thing that you need to provide is the width of the design. Measure it well and secure a cloth. Cut a portion of that cloth that corresponds to the measurement that you have gotten. Attach it to the end of the piece by stitching. Get a hold of the other end and join it together with the other edge. A circular portion or a space will then be created.
Next, secure a rod and insert it on the available space. This should be able to carry the weight of the piece when you hang it later on. Choose a material that is durable enough to hold the material.
Some prefer it to be portable. Others go for the permanent one. You can make this at any vacant surface of your house. In fact, other just make use of nails and hang the rods in there. Those who want to get rid of the hassle prefer to buy one. There are commercial hangers that can easily be attached to walls.
Those hangers that are portable are preferred by quilters who are always on the go and bring their materials anywhere. Those who are joining competitions want this mode as well for convenience purposes. If your work involves working within the confines of your house, then having a permanent one is the better option.
If you decide to go for the commercial products, make sure that you are selective of the design. This is even more important for those who are joining competitions. You want the whole package to look good. Hangers are visible to the judges eyes. To get a good impression, buy a good looking one.
Of course, do not forget the manufacturer. As much as possible, buy the material from a reliable source. A retailer that has been in business for a long time can be a better choice than someone who has just started. There are new businesses though that are showing great potential. Do not limit your choice and listen to what other quilters are recommending.
You can never underestimate what a simple material can do to the whole craft. Just like how a simple black dot can be so noticeable against a white, wide background, a small part of the art can ruin or win it. Go for the winning side.
