Things You'll Need:
- Scrap of cotton fabric
- Thread
- Iron
- Sewing Machine
- Serger (optional)
- Quarter-inch thick board
-
Step 1
Cut a piece of fabric as long as the quilt is wide and 4 inches wide.
-
Step 2
Serge both ends of the fabric strip or make a small hem. To hem the fabric, press under 1/4 inch, then turn under another 1/4 inch and press it. Sew a straight stitch close to the edge of the first fold to keep the fabric from fraying.
-
Step 3
Fold the fabric strip in half and press. Measure 1 1/2 inches down from the fold and mark with a pencil. Serge the raw edges on the length of the fabric strip together or sew a conventional seam and use the zigzag stitch along the raw edge of the fabric.
-
Step 4
Baste the fabric strip (now a hanging sleeve) along the pencil line to the top of the quilt, just below the binding. Be careful to keep the stitches from showing on the front of the quilt.
-
Step 5
Insert a thin board into the hanging sleeve. The board should be 1/4 inch thick and as long as the quilt is wide. Hammer nails through the board and into the wall the hang the quilt. The nails and the hanging sleeve will be hidden by the quilt.
