This quilt hanging system is advertised as a "one nail/self-leveling" wall quilt hanger.
It currently comes in two sizes for quilts from 21" to 45" and for quilt 35" to 73". A king-sized version for quilts 63" to 120" is in the works.
To hang your quilt, you'll need:
A finished quilt with a standard quilt sleeve sewn to the back at the top, the sleeve can be continuous, no need to split the sleeve in half to leave a gap
Hammer and nail
Ladder or step stool if you need to reach a higher spot on your wall
Find the center of your quilt, mark it with a straight pin on the back of your quilt.
Match the center of the hanging rod (there's a line) to the center of the sleeve.
Pull the ends out on the rod until they are even with the edge of the quilt sleeve on both sides.
Give each end of the rod a slight twist to lock it in place. (You don't want your rod changing size on you when you're in the middle of hanging.)
Now slide the Hang It Dang It rod into your fabric hanging sleeve, aligning the rods ends with the edges of the sleeve. Make sure the rod is positioned at the top of the sleeve.
Take your hanger bracket, match it to the center of your quilt sleeve where it's marked.
Snap it into place with both hands. Your quilt is ready to hang on the wall.
Determine where you'd like your quilt to hang on the wall and hammer in a nail.
Hang your quilt on the nail. Because the quilt is centered on the rod and hangs from just one point (the nail) it should hang perfectly straight. You can "scoot" the quilt a bit to one side or the other if needed.

Please use the "Comment" link below to rate and give your unbiased opinion of the Hang It Dang It Wall Quilt Hanger!
There is no way I would pay that kind of money for a hanger like that. I've got 6 - 45" wall hangings and numerous smaller one throughout my home. For the longer ones I go to Lowes and buy 2" x 45" good wood strips. Just cut them 2" longer than the sleeve, drill a hole 1/2" in from the end. Mark your holes (yes, there are two!) using a level on top of your strip, add the nails, slip the wood into the sleeve and hang it on the wall. Note the sleeve should be 2" short on each side of the wall hanging.
Total cost: $3.95.
For smaller quilts I just cut down a yardstick from Ace Hardware.
Total cost: $0.99.
The smallest hanger they offered was $40.00. I'm sorry, I'd rather spend my money on fabric.
