This idea works great!

I use machine needles, also. To break them, I first loosely wrap the needle in old fabric and then catch the needle with two pairs of pliers...one on the shaft (the part that goes into the machine) and the other just below where the shaft meets the needle. Hold tightly and bend the needle. It will break just above the pliers closest to the eye hole. So, if you want it short, grab the needle higher up. It will bend, but only so much, then break. Make sure the fabric is loose enough to give when you bend and break the needle. It's to keep small pieces of metal from flying unexpectedly.

Another way to hang wallhangings is to sew in a corner tab on each end (like photo corners for pictures) on the back side then a dowel or flat paint stick and be made the same width and inserted to hang. Moosegirl
