My hubby's Grandmother pieced all of her great-grandchildren quilts before she died. Two of the four I received to quilt for my children were polyester. I hand quilted one over the winter.......the next will be tied, most definitely. The seams are impossible to quilt thru... my fingers were cracked and bleeding before I finished. Never again!

Thank all of you so much! Your reply posts were so helpful.
I believe now I'll just refrain from even starting these
two tops that this dear lady has brought me. Maybe tieing
them would be a better choice. I'll offer to help her.
Thanks.

I hove one in a trunk waiting to be tyed. I grew up with this type of QTs, I have made two other, both tyed, kids used them on their beds. My youngest out grew her qt, That hers in the trunk. I have trouble with my memory. My baby is 26 yo. Anyway use lots of pins when sewing with machine. Peicing pollyester, Sorry I lost track of what I was trying to say. Good luck with the Poly-qt.
