Wall Design Pdf

[Shameka Cretsinger]

Westarted off by taping the boards together on top of a couple of tables and barstools pushed together at the right height. But then we realized you could do this on a hard floor as well. My previous studio was carpeted so we needed to do everything on a flat table. This time around, the studio floor worked well for all of the other steps.

My job was to carefully hold the design wall against the wall while Jason attached it into place with screws. He used a measuring tape and level to ensure that it stayed straight and square while attaching.

First Jason attached two screws on either side, where the boards meet up in the middle. This would be the two top corners of the bottom foam board. Then he attached screws in the upper corner of the design wall, and then in the lower corners.

Thank you for a clear crisp explanation of what you did. Plus the pictures. The reason for the added craft work phrase on the boards is because many Crafters are using them to model things they want to build.

I used the same product. Staples hold beautifully. I originally saw this demonstrated with push pins on the side. While they work, not for long. I pulled out my pneumatic upholstery gun and fixed that.

I also have a wall that is a design board. Love it. I am also looking for a table . My set up is a large L shape, from Ikea. The support do not allow us to cut a hole for the machine. I was going to ask where you got yours as I could add something like that on to mine. I will be watching to see what you find. I also used bedroom closets on one wall and shelves all from Ikea on another wall. Pleased with the arrangements. I know you will be happy with yours and that they will look great. Enjoy.

One of the most frequent questions I am asked is about the Quilt Design Wall next to my sewing machine. I use this handy tool for laying out and organizing my quilt pieces and quilt blocks. The blocks stick to the flannel-type fabric with out any adhesive or pins. It's fabulous! So I thought I'd put all of the answers about where to find or how to make your own Quilt Design Wall in one, handy place for easy reference!

A Design Wall or Design Board is a place to audition quilt block placement or rows of quilt blocks. They're especially handy so that you can step back and see the 'big-picture' of the project you're working on, keep your quilt block designs organized, and play with different layouts without having to lay them on the floor.

I purchased the design wall hanging next to my sewing machine. It's a heavy-duty flannel on one side with grommets at the top for hanging. Unfortunately I haven't been able to find this specific design wall available anymore, but you can find a similar design wall from the Fat Quarter Shop, Missouri Star Quilting, or Amazon.

Christa Quilts has an excellent tutorial for building a large Design Wall out of foam board (available at home improvement stores) and flannel layers - especially perfect if you have a sewing studio or dedicated space to hang in on your wall.

Suzy Quilts has a list of great ideas for making your own Quilt Design Wall using simple things like thin composite board, foam core, foam insulation board, hanging a curtain rod, or even using the back of a door!

Other simple options include: hanging a white flannel sheet, a large piece of batting or neutral-colored flannel or batting, or using the flannel backside of a vinyl table cloth. I would recommend something in neutral colors so it's easy to see the blocks.

One other variation are these super handy mini design boards (or a small design wall). My friend Emily made me some and I've LOVED them. They're perfect of laying out quilt blocks, auditioning fabric, or just keeping your pieces in place until you're ready to sew.

Lori Holt has a tutorial to make your own Design Board (mine don't have the decorative border, which is fine with me) or this video tutorial if you like the extra visuals. You can also buy Lori's Design Boards ready made here in multiple sizes.

I made a design wall earlier this year with the foam insulation that I covered in wide width flannel. I turned it length wise on the wall which I like unless I have an entire quilt on it. Super easy and very helpful.

I made mine using two 4X8 sheets of 1 inch thick foam insulation. I had planned on adding batting, but I decided not to. I cut 6 inches off the short side (my wall is 8 feet, and that included the trim), and then I duct taped the two panels together so it was roughly 8 feet wide and 7 1/2 feet tall. I was going to use duct tape to adhere the flannel to the insulation, but at the last minute used pins to affix the flannel. This meant I could reposition my fabric as I worked, and if I ever decided to change my flannel, I could just unpin it. I folded the corners to miter, and then I screwed the board into the wall using wooden spools as decoration. To keep the spools from twisting my fabric, I poked a hole in small pieces of freezer paper, which gave it the glide I needed.

I don't remember what YouTube channel I saw this on. She bought 12x12 panels for sound proofing a room and attached them to the wall. They are an acrylic fiber, look similar to wool pressing mats. I don't have a wall big enough, so I covered them with flannel and used foam core scraps to hold them together in a column, I left small gaps between the columns that "hinges" them together. I can accordion fold it to store it. I have bought another package to make an extension to put larger quilts on.

Have a fairly large canvas painting of a single overhead image of a flower (think repeating rounds of petals in graduating shades of same color) that is stunning. This round flower is on a square canvas. Also have two matching rounds of off white punched metal discs I planned to use on both sides to balance. They are slightly smaller than the flower. Wanted to do a gallery wall and add more, probably square items, but not sure if I should stop there. Thoughts?

Ah, yes. I hung a mozaiced plant pot saucer on one of those, on the fancy bumpy plaster and fastidiously followed directions and two nights later, down it came and smashed. On flat plaster, they prob work fine.

I have an open concept living and dining room. There is one continuous wall that both rooms share. Is it possible to have a gallery wall in the living room portion of the wall without the dining room portion of the wall looking empty? Help!

Hi! I was wondering where Jess got her black clips for her living room gallery wall (holding the Chagall and Jenna Bauer). I love the way they look and have a great piece that I can use them with! Thanks!

To build an R-40 wall with 2x6 framing and ZIP R-sheathing (assuming no other exterior sheathing), I think you'd need to use closed-cell spray foam in the cavities. That's one of the least environmentally friendly options.

Unless you are willing to build double-stud walls, I'd consider dense packed cellulose in the wall cavities with exterior continuous insulation, probably polyisocyanurate over (OSB, plywood, or uninsulated ZIP) sheathing.

I would also do a bit of energy modeling/energy costs. In Zone5 R40 walls are not worth it unless you are building it with low cost materials such as dense packed double stud walls. Even then, it is hard to make a financial argument for an over R30 assembly.

Good for you, and your builder, to have basic discussions now in the design phase, where change orders are cheap.

You've asked some fairly general questions, so I'll give some general advice from my side of the fence.

1) I'd look up articles here on GBA about the Pretty Good House. It's a concept that's been reviewed here a couple of times, and there's now a .ORG website. They've resisted putting in specific recommendations in the past, because there are many designs that can work well, when properly executed. Having said that, they've come up with a number of recommendations for cost-effective, comfortable, healthier, durable, and efficient homes. As Akos has hinted (my interpretation), these are general guidelines, and many have concluded that R30 is pretty good for a wall and that air sealing (and details that allow good air-sealing) is more important than a high R-value.

Also, the articles for PGH will contain good links for reading.

2) I am not a builder, so two grains of salt here, but if I was and I wanted to build more efficient, comfortable houses, I would concentrate on learning about and then getting my crews and subcontractors focused on air-sealing, and I would learn some approaches to using exterior insulation. Those two things will be very common and useful in the future. And they will benefit every future client, including you.

Thank You. Started reading up on the Pretty Good House information. A lot of great details on every aspect. One thing that I have stressed with my builder is the need to cut down and eliminate air movement ie Air Sealing. I have started to look into the aero barrier product and service. I think so far reading this information I have backed off the R40 and will be seeking an R30 with the Zip R product. One of the questions i keep running into is with the assembly being a vented or unvented system. A lot of varying opinions on this item.
