Takes a weight off my mind as my pieces are not too heavy at this point. I may go bigger in the future.<br />I think our dowels at the DIY shop are about 6ft long. I can just get them into the car.<br />Thanks again,<br />Sandy in the UKSandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04978514536651961190noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-588118538433483895.post-23473984364133324382012-07-18T09:10:33.096-04:002012-07-18T09:10:33.096-04:00I always read your blog.

These can be cut to size exactly and fit in the sleeves without too much bulk.<br />I run a polyester cord through the tube (matching colour) and use this to hang the quilt for display in the shop, and when I do talks - these cannot be lost in transit.<br /> If a customer wants a system that will fix invisibly, I make a slat with screw-holes that fits the quilt and is concealed.. I have found that these do not sag if they are pretty tight on the wall<br /><br />HHHelen Howeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03378013328370139295noreply@blogger.com
