Can anyone recommend good quilt hangers (for hanging a quilt on the wall)? I bought a pair of the Dritz hangers today, and they leave a little to be desired. They hold the quilt -- so long as the quilt is placed "just right" in them.
I'm afraid the quilt is going to fall when I least expect it. This quilt is hung above my daughter's (almost 4 years old) bed. I can just imagine her screaming in the middle of the night...."I can't see, I can't see"....after it falls on her head. :)
Any recommendations for effective quilt hangers -- the kind that use pressure to hold your quilt in them? I don't want to put a sleeve oon the back of this quilt. I'd appreciate any input!

I have a very inexpensive way of hanging all but the largest (heaviest) quilts. I sew a couple/few of those little plastic rings to the back of the quilt (use more rings the larger the quilt) and hang those on those new 3M hanging hook thingies that need no nails and you remove w/out leaving any sticky residue on the walls. Forget what they call them, but you can buy them most anywhere. Then I'm not limited as to where I can hang a quilt.

You can get a curtain rod (they make really nice ones) and put the clippy hooks on the rod. Then you can clip the hooks on the quilt top. These clips are tight - don't get your finger caught. That's how my bedroom curtains hang.

Love those curtain rings with the tiny clothespins with teeth that MadQuilter suggested. I used them to hang my design wall (flannel backed tablecloth) and several small wallhangings all on one loooooong rod. I got mine at Walmart, I think they were $10 for 10? :thumbup:
