I have a quilt top that has been waiting for me to finish for about 2 years, so I finally got it out and sandwiched it. I really hate machine quilting...it's hard work on my little DSM! So, I decided to hand quilt it using crochet thread and a big stitch, (about 4 stitches per inch.) The work is going pretty fast and so far, I like the look. However, I do wonder about how it's going to hold up and also, how I should be tying off the loose threads. Right now, I'm just taking a tiny stitch and burying the thread. Anyone else ever used crochet thread to quilt with? Tips?

Thanks,

C
