Thanks in advance! This board is such a wealth of information! :lol:
I have only tied one quilt, and I used embroidery floss (all six strands), and tied with the surgeons knot. I think Eleanor Burns demonstrates the knot somewhere, possibly online or in one of her books. If you use colored embroidery floss, be sure to pre wash as some colors bleed a little.
