How To Display Textiles With A Quilt Hanger

By Chloe Gib


There are many different varieties and lengths for a quilt hanger. Each can be made of different materials, such as dark wood or plastic. These can be displayed on a rack or on a hanger on the wall. It is great for storage, and keeping it neatly folded as well as for showing it off.

Some hangers can come in weird shapes or consistent shapes like a bird or a flower. You can also request something unique, like a name. It does not really have to match what is on the quilt, but at least have it stand out and be eye-catching.

How you hang it and what hanger you would need depends on the size. If it is small, you would not need something as sturdy, or large and bulky to make sure it doesn't tear over time. This is where a quilt rack would come in handy.

There are many types of elements that can be used in making these hangers. Wood comes in many different tones and colors, and can be very easily blended in with your home's wooden tables, chairs, bed frames, or cabinets. Although the same principle applies to plastic and wire hangers.

Hangers are usually used to display the patterned fabric as you would a painting. Similarly, museums use these in order to keep the textiles available for viewers to admire. As well as keeping them safe from temperature and any other elements that may do damage to it.

There are museums where you can see how people lived a good while back and they too have quilt hangers and racks. They were furniture for the little houses as well as a place to put their quilts tidy and neatly. These people really needed the wooden or metal racks fro example, because they mainly used fabrics and patterns to then sew them up into a quilt.

A couple of things to make sure while planning to hang your quilt is for it not to get hit by direct sunlight. Also, if it it too close or over a fireplace than the fabric may fade in certain spots a lot quicker. This will end up tearing the knit.

So, whether the quilt hanger is a present or being custom-made, there are a variety of colors, materials, and sizes to choose from. Hangers are best for making the tapestry look like a piece of artwork on your wall or door.
