[QUOTE=Tartan;4633812]Someone posted about using their Q-snap floor quilting frame for tying. They started by laying one section of the sandwich at a time on the frame and then putting on the snap part to tighten a section at a time. When that section was smooth, they put in their ties and then moved to a new section as needed. It sounded like something I would try the next time I wanted to bast or tie a quilt. I already have a Q-snap floor frame.QUOTE]

This is how I did my last king sized quilt. Turned out very nice. Grandaughter loved it. Here is a pic of 1/4 of it. Didn't get a pic of it completed. I tied a yoyo in the center of each large block and made a pillow sham to match. I need to start taking pics more.

I just finished a quilt. I pinned it down and used an 18" hoop and tied it down with Variegated Perle Cotton Thread. It turned out beautiful. The thread turned out really sweet after I washed and dried it. Very pleased with it. I use the hoop to keep everything drum taut! My family makes fun of me when I refer to anything I want done perfect - "It has to be drum taut." Edie

Sorry, forgot to mention. I start dead center and work my way out angle-wise to keep everything in order. I end up finishing top left, bottom right, top right, bottom left. Have Fun! Edie

I safety pin as if I were going to quilt it, then work from the center out also. Make sure you check the batting package so you know how far apart to tie. I usually just sit on the floor and drape it in my lap. It always feels great to get to the edge!

This is my method for tying quilts........works well........love pinmoors!

What is a "pinmoor"? This is a new term to me. Thanks.

Thank you. You have been so helpful. I haven't tied a quilt for several years (before adhesive spray) and wondered if it was the way to go. With your help, I now know that it is okay to just lay out the 3 layers, pin and then tie. I so appreciate your time and help. Yolanda Wood River

PS: I will post a photo of the quilt when finished. I am replacing a quilt that my daughter made in the 70s, which her son left at a park after going to the fireworks. She had tied her quilt and so I am going to tie this one. Trying to finish it for her birthday on 11/24. Y
