Hanging Sleeves and Corners (see below)

You
can use a zipper foot and move the needle over to sew next to the piping but some machines
have an awkward one. Another foot to use is the satin stitch applique or piping foot.
QUILT SLEEVE INSTRUCTIONS
Revised April 2013
To assist with the hanging process, and to secure your quilt firmly, we ask that you use the
following size guideline to determine how to attach the hanging sleeve:
A. Up to 40” wide, cut your fabric about 1” shorter than the width of your quilt and follow
the instructions below.
B. Between 41” and 70” wide, measure the width of your quilt, subtract 1”, divide by 2,
and cut two pieces of fabric that width. Follow the instruction below for each piece,
leaving a 1” space between the pieces at the center of your quilt. This will allow us to use
3 S hooks to hang your quilt.
C. Over 70” wide, measure the width of your quilt, subtract 1”, divide by 3, and cut 3
pieces of fabric that width. Follow the instructions below for each of the 3 sleeve pieces.
Attach them to the back of the quilt, leaving 1” space between each piece. This will allow
us to use 4 S hooks to hang your quilt, distributing the weight evenly.
The quilt must have a 3 inch finished depth sleeve attached. If the quilt is an unusual
shape, or requires a unique mounting, the appropriate materials must be submitted
with the quilt.
A sleeve may be prepared as follows:
1. Cut a strip of fabric 6½” wide and the required length. The fabric can match your backing
material, be of plain muslin, or some other fabric . Fold the short edge to the wrong side
and hem.
2. Fold the fabric in half lengthwise with the wrong sides together, and stitch a ¼” seam,
creating a 3” tube.
3. Press the seam open. It will be on the outside, but hidden against the back of the quilt.
Lay the tube out flat so the seam is centered between the top and bottom edges. Press a
crease in the upper edge of the tube, do not press a crease in the lower edge of the tube.
4. Position the upper edge of the tube just below the inner edge of the binding on the top
back of the quilt with the seam against the backing. Blindstitch the tube to the back and
batting, making sure that the stitches are not visible on the quilt front.
5. Ease the side of the tube facing you towards the top of the quilt about ¼” to ½” and pin.
Be sure that it does not extend over the upper edge of the quilt. Blindstitch the lower
edge of the tube to the backing and batting. The depth of the tube against the quilt will be
narrower than the depth of the tube away from the quilt, which allows for the thickness of
the hanging rod and prevents distortion and strain on the front of the quilt when it is
hung.
