That's a quilting method, not a tying method. I do use thicker thread now (perle #8), but I'll have to retrain myself to do larger stitches, as my last quilt came out at 8 stitches per inch (topside). It's still far, far more work than tying a quilt, and I'm thinking of situations where I simply can't load a quilting needle with stitches, due to hefty batting or heavy fabrics.
