My husband helped me build one. It has a flannel covered insulation board on both sides and can be easily moved (the frame is on wheels) and I can slide both boards out and put them side by side when I'm doing a larger quilt.

Foam board insulation and the gridded flannel. Here's a picture. I just got my HandiQuilter and built it last night!

My 1st design wall and the one I'm still using this week is just a piece of batting tacked up to the wall which is wood behind it. I just ordered 1.5" foam board cut to size and will put them up with batting tacked over it. Will add a decorative trim around the edges to make it prettier looking. Got tired of not being able to stick pins into the batting.

LOL, me too except I don't tack to wall, don't have that much wall space. And when I needed a bigger one?? I sewed two together! Can't beat the price and I can fold it up and take with me if needed or just to put away.

The table cloth trick might be the ticket for my short term. Never ever thought of the foam insulation boards. That might work for the half wall for a small one....but oh Gosh I love the idea of the large one on wheels. Maybe that with the gridded flannel like sunshine's.

ksdot: how did your hubby put that together without the foam falling apart?

The frame is wood with slots to slide the foam in.

Went to Joann's and bought the washable felt in the wide size. It covers the 1" insulation sheets really well, I use regular straight pins in the back to hold it tight.

I also use the vinyl tablecloth method. I can hang it anywhere.

I hung a curtain rod over my closet door, then used batting after turning the edge over ( like a curtain) I can move it to the side if I need to, works great for me and my limited space

I bought thin lathe strips and nailed them along the ceiling. Then, I attached the fleece to the strips ceiling height. I tacked the bottom to the baseboard with tape. I covered the entire wall which was wide and long enough to hold a king-size quilt. I had space to pin notes to me, sample blocks, etc. I loved it.
