Thanks for the replies! I wasn't asking for advice on my own projects but I do appreciate the information you've shared. I was just curious cuz I read other threads where the advice was against doing it so I wondered about the reasoning. I've done my quilts in various ways. Some quilts I've machine quilted, some are done quilt as you go, some were machine tacked, some were birthed and others tied. I like them all for different reasons. My WIP will probably be a new method of quilt as you go I read about. I think tied is pretty durable. I have 3 quilts my grandma made me 39. 38, and 37 years ago that were tied and used on my bed for 30 years off and on. They are a bit frayed in the binding now and some of the squares have frayed but I still love them. As long as we are quilting at all we are doing it right in my opinion
