By carefully hand stitching 2" velcro to the back of the work accross the
top, and attaching the opposite velcro strip to a strip of wood that gets
attached to the wall gives the best continuous support for the work that
will prevent sags and possible damage to the work.  The stitching is easily
removed, and will cause no damage to the back of the work.
