Instructions for making a double fold quilt sleeve
Step 1
- Cut a piece of fabric 10" by the the width of the quilt
- Turn under a 1" hem on both short sides of the fabric and topstitch
Step 2
- Fold sleeve in half lengthwise, wrong sides facing and raw edges matching
- Press
Step 3
- Center the sleeve along the top edge on the back side of the quilt
- Match raw edges and pin in place leaving a 1" indent on either side – this indent will allow the quilt rod to hang without being visible from the front
- Stitch sleeve to the back of the quilt using the same seam allowance as binding
Step 4
- To allow space for the hanging rod and to ensure that the quilt does not pucker when it hangs, make a small fold in the sleeve by folding it up to align with the raw edges, and then back down on itself
- Pin bottom edge of sleeve to quilt
- Hand stitch bottom edge and side edges in place
