I'm thinking that hanging still doesn't stress the fiber but possibly makes it stiff and brittle while a gentle motion caused a small wear but keeps the textile flexible. Any material science people in the house?

Damn. Well, guess it's time to build a subbasement for flat laying all them textiles then. At least it's a project.

You also have to consider the time scale that matters to you. I would rather enjoy grandma's quilt by using it than having it stored away in pristine condition, or maybe by displaying it on a wall. Museums are aiming to preserve items for generations to come.

To be honest, this entire post was bordering to a shower thought because I was laying in bed thinking about nothing in particular and observing the curtains barely moving. I prefer to have my nice thing in use as well.
