How many quilt clips do I need? – For a quilt that is still stiff and new, you will only need 2 quilt clips for up to 36 inches wide. Many people will do 3 quilt clips just for the look, though. For a quilt that has been washed and is pliable, 2 clips will be sufficient for up to 36 inches, but you may want 3 clips to help keep the center from sagging. For a quilt 36 to 42 inches wide, use 3 to 4 clips. For a quilt 42 to 50 inches, use 4 to 5 clips. How do the quilt clips work? – The only hardware is needed is a long nail, approximately 1 1/2″ to 2 1/2″ in length. – Measure how far apart you would like the clips to be. – Decide how high on the wall they will be placed and mark your first spot. Using a level, measure out and mark the second spot. – Place your nails into the wall at a 45 degree angle. IMPORTANT: If your nail is not at a 45 degree angle, the clip may slip off the nail. – Clip the quilt and slide the back of the clip over the nail. What are the clips made of? – Designs are made of layered wood. A few of our designs also have layered felt. – Clips on the back are a sturdy plastic so as not to damage your fabric.
