I made a Bargello and I tied it. I had embroidery threads for each color I tied in and you couldn't tell straight off because the colors blend in so well. It sure did take a lot of time to tie but I got it done. I made a French Braid quilt and I tied that one too. Took the longest time because of the many colors and embroidery threads to match. Just put your favorite movie in the machine and enjoy the ties.
