Hi all,
Question, has anyone ever tied a quilt with crochet thread, or some may call is crochet cotton?

Yes, liked it better than yarn, no frizzy :)

I saw a fellow on one of the quilting shows mention using dental floss! I agree on the yarn - too fuzzy

Yes, I did it several times until I started hand quilting my quilts! It works great.

Thank you all for your fast replies. I bought a ball of it and thought it would work great. Just wanted to check in with everyone

Yes...I use embroidery thread all the time. You can use it either 6 stranded or 3 stranded.

I've also heard of using crochet cotton, but haven't tried it yet. I do have lots of crochet cotton and you can always find it at thrift stores, so I may try it next time.
