Did one a while back where the tacks were hidden between the folds, think floss would work real well with that!! :)

I have used yarn and embroidery floss. Either one is good. Also twisted yarns that are for crewel are strong and come in a variety of colors. Watch at garage sales or craft sales at church and use whatever suits your fancy!

Tacked and tied W/turkey tracks or 2 loops and a knot, have quitled using yarn it seemed to unravel and friz, (could have been the brand). Like cotton threads, one out there that is really thick, or all strands of embroidery thread, sharp darning needle, and a pair of sm plyers, pinned to the carpet, :) or on a hanging frame, not as painful as the carpet. (that would be on my tush)
Whatever works for you is quilting !!! No QP :)
