Whether you are a long-time quilter or just starting out as an experiment, there are certain tools which be included in your arsenal of equipment. Scissors, needles, and measuring equipment are all vital. A retractable design wall for quilters is not an absolutely crucial tool, but it can certainly make laying out, picturing and arranging quilt blocks or pieces easily and conveniently. Installing one of these devices benefits quilters in several ways.
When you are trying to lay out a design on the floor, your knees suffer. It's hard to reach all the areas of a large quilt. You probably have discovered that placing your projects on a table top doesn't work well either. A table has a large footprint in a room. If your table is multipurpose, you must move your quilt project every time the table is needed for another reason. It is far better to do your quilt design work by using a retractable wall placed against a hard surface.
The features of this equipment are designed to hold most fabric types in place without the need for pins. Usually a white or neutral-colored background is preferred, so that the colors in the design "pop". This makes it easier to see exactly what the colors will look like in the final design. Pieces can be moved around from one location to another.
Because you will more than likely be interrupted in the middle of your quilting work, a retractable wall is a perfect solution. The blocks or pieces can be rolled up into the wall to protect the design and the entire project from dust, misplaced pieces or other problems. The concept is similar to the idea of a window shade which rolls up.
If necessary, you can hire someone to do the installation, or you can handle it yourself with minimal skills and tools. Just be sure to pick a spot that is large enough to allow you to easily reach all parts of your blocks. Pull the working surface down when you are ready to proceed and return it to the closed position when you have to do something else.
For the best results, place the equipment against a hard surface wall. This allows you to press your fabric pieces into place. The surface tension of this device is strong enough hold most different types of quilting fabrics. At the same time, relocating blocks from one part of a design to improve the appearance is simple.
When you are working on more than one project at a time, you can use the quilters' wall to photograph your designs. Getting good photographic images is important for those people who are marketing quilts or quilt designs. Choose the best possible image of your creative and transfer the digital photos to your website.
Keeping your quilting arrangement and pieces of the current project in place from one quilting session to the next is easy when you have the right tools. There is no risk of losing a crucial piece of the quilt top because it wasn't put away during the last session. The pieces are right where you left them before putting away your work the last time.
