HUSBAND'S BOW TIE QUILT
#1
I am in need of some advice. My DH wanted a quilt for his chair so i made a bow tie quilt. He said he wanted it tied and not quilted. Well it is tied and now he is not liking all the 'white worms' all over the quilt.
I used a soft white yarn. What do you all use to tie your quilts with? Has anyone tied on their machine?
Thanks for your help.

I tied my first one yesterday and I have a new appreciation for the lost art of tying. It was a duplicated quilt that my deceased MIL made in '72. I do not think you could ever do one with a machine but what I did with mine was to SITD and then tie the rows.
I like the look to be honest with you but after I duplicate the original 3 times I do not think I will tie one again. :roll:
Post a few photos of your quilt, I am sure that there are a few folks here that can help you in making your hubby happy!!

Search "turkey tracks" in the Search Box above. One of the members did a tutorial on how to tie quilts this way. I have done a couple and I love how it looks and it finishes flat (you don't have a know anywhere). Check it out and let us know if you do it and how your hubby liked it.
