I like to tie flannel, denim, corduroy, some scrappy quilts and couch throws. There's just something about tying them that makes them look warmer. I use one strand of 3 ply acrylic yarn knotted three times and then trimmed to about 3/4-1".

Yes, I have tied alot of quilts. My church group, about 5 of us sew and tie about 18 quilts a year for the homeless shelters. We use darning thread as it is easier to thread into needles and seems to wear better than yarn.
