I actually added sleeves to the bottom of church banners because they were not hanging straight.Julie Fukudahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15704374750710761269noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5857159863423586587.post-56551736836722407402017-12-22T11:08:09.397-05:002017-12-22T11:08:09.397-05:00WOW!

I generally need 4 -5 per quilt depending on the width and weight so love that you only need to use two! Since it can be a challenge to get the pins aligned horizontally so the quilt hangs even, I've always wondered about using a rod but always thought the hooks too small for that. Your bar system solves that! Will have to look for those at Home Depot. It does mean I'd have to add the work of making sleeves but I may be persuaded to take that on since it will make changing quilts easier. Also love your solution for keeping the hooks up for various size quilts. <br /><br />I do have one two-sided quilt hung on a regular curtain rod that is supported by a pair of the larger decorative 3M hooks. It has been hanging for four years now and in that time only once did one of the hooks have to be re-hung with new glue tape (and yep, it took the paint off in that spot but the hook hides that). It's lasted even with me periodically flipping the quilt to change which side of the quilt faces out. Count me in for a shameless plug for 3M hanging products!
