If you have hand tied a quilt, were you satisfied with the results?
Dina:
I hand tied my first 2 quilts years and years ago. I made 6" square jean quilts for both my kids. I used 'Red Heart' yarn that someone gave me. I used a large eye yarn needle & tied in the 'almost' center of the square. Reason I said 'almost' is because I had no instruction on how to even quilt.
Anyways; most important thing to remember is to use a 'square knot' for tying & it will never come undone. At least the kids' quilts haven't yet and over 30 years old.
Square Knot....right over left ... then left over right.
