Hanging hassles :(

Post by eckles »

Hi everyone, can anyone tell me of an effective way to hang a cotton tapestry that stays flat. I have sewn a rod pocket on the back of one and run a thin board into it. I have made a hole in the centre of the cloth and screwed a round eyelet into the very top of the board (the narrow part) so the weight hangs down and attached it to a painting hook that sits close to the wall but the whole thing wants to sit forward at the top all the time. I've flattened to wall hook as close to the wall as it will go. It drives me crazy pulling at it all the time. It also pulls the backing fabric up at the bottom as well so the whole thing looks puckered. This would be the third time I have tried to get it right but it continues to pucker and tilt. HHEEELLLPPPP!
