If you are looking for a spacious working surface for cutting fabrics and other craft and home decorating projects, the Open Folded Superboard is a smart choice. It has a sturdy Kraft board construction with a neat laminated finish. For added convenience, this superboard features markings in both directions and lines for cutting nine widths of bias strips and patterns for scallops and circles.
- Brand: Prym Dritz
- Dimensions: 40 x 72 inches
2 sturdy curtain rods, adjustable to height of design wall (72 inches)
Pat Speth's Portable Design Wall
1 dressmaker’s cardboard cutting board (the kind that
folds up for storage)
2 curtain rods that extend to at least 72" (the white
metal ones that telescope into each other so that there is a
curve on each end)
a piece of white flannel 44" x 80" or a flannel backed
vinyl tablecloth—very likely you will have to buy extra
flannel and sew it together to make it this large, as it is not
usually wide enough on its own.
10 -12 large binder clips 2" size (from the office
supply store)
** Double stick carpet tape
**Strapping tape, package tape, duct tape---some kind of broad tape to smooth
out the edges that extend past the carpet tape.
(Pat Speth is the author of the ‘Nickel Quilt’ series of books and gave this to her
class during the teaching of her Paducah Nine Patch in Bloomington, IN, March
2, 2012.)
( Do not get the cheapest curtain rods (such as those from
Wal-Mart) as the least little bend will go into a full-blown bend catastrophe!
