Did you test it in a vertical position at the store? With my design wall if a corner isn't secure the weight of the blocks will make the whole thing fall. It just rolls off, especially if it's several blocks or the whole top pieced together. Sometimes I use a few pins.

I didn't think of the spray, great idea! Thanks. I sometimes have trouble with my tiny blocks on my tablecloth back as they have more weight per sq inch and don't like to stay up.

I just put batting up and it worked great on the 16"
I also have some spray to try on the other wall...
The few tablecloths I tried didn't work. I don't want to sew together the felt I have (plus, it's orange).
I'm getting there... let me keep trying the suggestions here. I hang it by some clips over a door so it's completely vertical.
Thanks everyone!

I did smooth it carefully. Then I beat it with frustration. ;-) dang thing...

I have fleece blanket kids and I'm sure I can spare one for my wall! Ok... off to give it a shot. I have a 72x72 top that will be a real test.
Thanks!
Thanks!
