I would like to add hanging tabs to the top of my latest quilt. Does anyone know how to add tabs to the top of the quilt as you are sewing on the binding?

Re: Adding Hanging Tabs
I added tabs to the top of one of my quilts. It was way more work than just putting a sleeve on the back. I added them after the binding was on by just sewing in the ditch of the binding.

Re: Adding Hanging Tabs
you could lay them across the top and catch them in the binding as you sew it down to the back - I do my sleeves that way and it is not difficult as I sew most of my bindings by machine - I wonder if tabs caught in the binding would pitch the quilt forward though

What I do is go to bed bath and beyond and get some decorator shower curtaun rod hangers. They clip right onto the quilt and you can get a pretty rod to match.

Re: Adding Hanging Tabs
If you put a sleeve on the back, how do you hang it? With a round dowel rod or a flat piece of board (like a 1 inch thick, 2 inch high flat piece of wood)? I am almost done my wallhanging quilt and I can't decide how to do it. I don't want tabs showing or any rod showing at all. How do you attach the wood to the wall then?
