I have tied many quilts using the international stitch. This is easy to do and leaves no "tails. Here is a utube link to demonstrate how to do it. The only difference between her demonstration and how I do it is that I use my quilting frames -- just as I would if I were doing actual quilting. I think this might be a way for you to tie your quilt but still have the beautiful design become the focus instead of the ties. Good luck
