I always tie my quilts. I have been doing quilts for probably 40 years since my first ones and they hold up very well with no problems. I use yarn that complements the quilt and tie every 4-6 inches or so. I use a needle that has an eye large enough to pull the yarn through. I put the king sized quilts on 2"x2"x8' boards with C clamps at all corners and then attach the quilt with tack pins all around. I balance all four corners on my chairs. I begin tying around the quilt as far in as I can reach and roll the quilt from both ends as I complete a section. When done I finish with the binding. THhe quilts I have been doing lately are King sized for my adult kids and their spouses as well as grandchildren. My oldest granddaughters response (she is 18) when she saw her quilt was Oh I love these little ties! And I was worried they would not like it that way. I do not use wool yarn I use synthetic yarn that I purchased at Joann Fabrics and that keeps its shape and is colorfast.
