I like not having too much stitching on some of the quilts, but the jury is still out on whether I like the tied look (tails) or not. This sounds like a good idea, but also sounds very time comsuming. I'm guessing you have to rethread all the ends to pull them down to bury them or is there another trick to it. I'm finding there are a lot of tricks for things that I would not have thought of. Thanks for the idea.
Also, have to find the Pearle cotton, that sounds like the another favorite for tying. Is that in the embroidery section or thread section?
