Hanging Sleeve Directions

1. Cut a 9” wide fabric strip, cutting it 1” shorter than the top measurement of the quilt. Hem each end by pressing under 1/2”, then press under 1/2” again, enclosing raw edges. Machine stitch close to inner fold.
2. With wrong sides together and long edges even, stitch using 1/4” seam allowance. Centre the seam allowance on the side of the sleeve and press.
3. Centre the sleeve along the top of the quilt, with the seam allowance of the sleeve next to the quilt back. Attach the sleeve by hand stitching along both long edges. The sleeve will be narrower than the quilt, but this allows a dowel to be inserted into the sleeve without showing.
