Hanging sleeves

I get asked a lot about attaching sleeves for hanging a quilt. Depending on what kind of quilt hangar you are using, you may or may not need a sleeve. If you are using a Hang it Dang it or a basic curtain rod or dowel system you will probably need to add a sleeve.  Since I switch quilts a lot I often only pin on a temporary sleeve but if you are planning on hanging a quilt for some time you will want a stronger & more evenly attached method.  I found instructions for this today posted by Bernina USA.  This site show’s how to create a sleeve & how to attach it to your quilt using the blind hem stitch with your sewing machine.  It’s a great little tutorial.   Hanging sleeve
