Quilt Hangers:

Wall mount quilt hangers use quilt clips or a display bar to hold your quilt for a vertical display. Quilt clips will hold your quilt at one end, allowing the entire face of the quilt to be on display. Only quilts in good condition should be displayed in this fashion because it causes more stress on the fabric than when using a display rod.








Quilt Racks:

The best way to store a quilt that is in reasonably sturdy condition is with a quilt rack. The vary in size, design and material. Consider your size requirements when choosing your quilt rack as some are designed to display a single quilt, or multiple quilts.

Floor standing quilt racks are ideal for quilts that are used or moved frequently, and allow you to transport your quilt to another location without having to physically handle it.
