We have been finishing a lot of our charity quilts with ties. Some people leave 4 inches of thread tails. Some take too large a stitch, then pull it tight so that there is a big pucker in the quilt. And some made the tie, but hadn't gone through the backing when making the stitch. And the last one I brought home to bind had at least six places where the tie was just omitted.

I like tied quilts when the ties are done well, evenly placed with about an inch of thread left. We did one several years ago that ended up at an auction. It was tied closely in red yarn. That quilt brought a good price at the charity auction.
