Thank you for sharing this information. My mother-in-law made quilts for my kids years ago and they are still functioning. Consequently they seem to think if it is not tied it is not a quilt. lol I use the crochet thread but will try the yarn on my next quilt.

Some people like to use crochet thread, but I use worsted yarn...here's a funny..as taught by two nice ladies in a historical museum on Ocracoke, Outer Banks, NC. They advised going trough twice with needle and yarn, then tying a double knot.
