i tied a quilt with embroidery thread once. surgeon's knot. some came apart. i had to do it over with yarn. But I did one not too long ago with yarn and it wasn't nice looking after washing. cheap yarn?
I have tied all my comforters. I can't machine quilt and can't afford to send them out. I've used yard and DMC and the thicker thread they sell that I can't think of the name and haven't had any problems with any of them. I always wash my finished products and they look fine to me. I haven't had any complaints from any I sent to family and I'm sure they would let give them back for me to fix if it didn't hold. lol
Neat trick on the earrings. :-)
