How do you do this? What stitch is for tacking? Maybe I could try this, lol..maybe
I have tied many quilts in my days. I started out using yarn but found that after many yrs of washing them the fibers would wear out so I switched to embroidery floss & tie them using the 6 stands into 3 knots & cutting 1" from the knot. After that they have never worn or come out. We also do UTILITY quilts at my Church & use this same technique. Hoping to see more of your quilts.
