I use binder clips to attach the covering for the boards. I use vinyl tablecloths with wrong side out and cover each board separately. I have also just hung the tablecloths on the wall without the boards. Works just as well.

The ones we use has some kind covering of fabric backed with a thin layer of foam. It is wrapped to the back and stapled on there. Two quilt groups have been using them for several years, with no issues. Straight pins are used on the front to hold the blocks in place.

Pink foam board. Spray baste flannel. Staple flannel to back side. Velcro command strips to attach to the wall.

I have moved the panels to rearrange and paint. Good luck!

Battle Axe

I have two panels of blue foam covered in one layer of flannel. The flannel is secured on the back with duct tape. Then to attach to the wall, I nailed it down with 8 penny large nails.

This was moved from another apartment that I rented out. I nailed it to the wall in the apartment and it stayed much better than it is now in the old house with not too much to nail it to.

Interesting comment about moving the boards to the floor, but my floor space is very limited now.

I was gifted someones old design wall. I have had it at least 10 years. The batting is attached with duct tape. I just ran some dry wall screws into the wall to hold it in place. They aren't into studs. It has been fine. I just wish it was larger.

I'd glue it to the insulation board so that it doesn't sag or pull down as you take the pieces off. Otherwise--if you can't fix it with duct tape or WD40, forget any project!

I wrapped the batting to the back and used clear packing tape to secure it. It's held for more than 5 years--no issues.

I hung fleece from ceiling to floor on one wall and attached it at the ceiling height. I used strong T pins and no one could see the tiny holes at that height. Used it for years, cleaning the threads off periodically. Now in my 80's, I barely do anything creative due to arthritis, but that wall saw many quilts posted and designed there!

Batting is heavy, so I use flannel for my wall. Also a lot cheaper!

Neither in my opinion. I used painters tape and it has held up for several years without any signs of letting go. It was quick and easy.
