Tips for displaying your quilt
Both sunlight and artificial light will cause fading of a quilt. Keep a quilt a safe distance from any bulb so the heat will not damage the fibers.
ALL LIGHT DAMAGE IS IRREVERSIBLE. The best way to display (or store) any quilt is on an unused bed. If hanging a patchwork quilt is preferred, display it for only six months at a time.
When hanging a patchwork quilt, use a method that will distribute the weight over the entire width of the quilt. Sew a 4" wide tube or sleeve of fabric along the top edge on the back of the quilt and stitch through all layers of the quilt every inch or so.
NEVER USE NAILS, PINS, OR STAPLES TO HANG A QUILT. |
