Mine is simply a piece of queen size 70/10 batting stapled to a batten of timber (about an inch by half an inch) top and bottom. The top batten is nailed to the wall, the bottom just hangs to keep it weighted down. Everything sticks to it without pins - even a full quilt top.

I just made one for my sewing room! Mine is a 4'x4' piece of insulation board covered with 1 layer of batting and then an ivory flannel sheet. I secured the batting and flannel sheet to the back of the insulation board using duct tape. My husband mounted it on the wall for me. Fabric squares stay up well on their own, though I will sometimes secure with a pin especially if I am adding and moving squares around. I chose ivory flannel vs. white flannel as I had read other posts on this board and several folks stated that the white flannel was too bright...plus I already had an ivory flannel sheet I wasn't using!
Be sure to do a search on "sewing rooms" on this board. I got all kinds of great tips and idea's for my sewing room. Currently, I am working at folding/organizing my fabric stash. I can't begin to tell you how much fun I've had researching/planning/organizing my sewing room with all the great idea's from the generous quilters on this board.
Have fun!!!!

My dear quilting neighbor, friend's husband made her this design wall of fomular insulation board covered with light gray felt like fabric. They retired to AZ and her husband and son walked this light but approx 12ft x5ft design wall down to my house. It is priceless!

I just got my own sewing room as well, as my design wall was the first thing to go up! Very cheap and easy - a piece of plywood cut the the correct size with a piece of insulation board nailed (carefully) to it and covered with batting. The whole thing was mounted to the wall with screws and is a DREAM!
