I used to tie quilts with an individual knot and tails, but I learned another more efficient way to tie quilts using the "international stitch." Here are a couple of links to check out this stitch. It does not come out, ever.

I tried to post a video from Connecting Threads but couldn't get it to link. Anyway, it showed how I've helped tie quilts. You loop twice into the quilt then do a square or surgeon's knot whichever works for you. We used embroidery floss, perle cotton. She clipped it a fingers loop, circumference, from the knot.

I have a friend who goes through the quilt twice before she ties it and has no problems but that seems a bother to me. Have fun, my kids love tied quilts, reminds them of the quilts grandma made for them.
