Instructions for make a single fold quilt sleeve
Step 1
- Cut a piece of fabric 6" by the width of the quilt
- Turn under a 1" hem on both short sides and one long side of the fabric and topstitch
Step 2
- With wrong side of the sleeve facing the back of the quilt, center the sleeve along the top edge 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 3
- 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 in place
