I used to tie with yarn, until my hands complained. Then I decided to let a machine do the work by adding bar tacks in place of ties.

Personally, I hate using yarn. I'll use embrodery floss, thin nylon twine, (CRS) the heavier enbrodery stuff. BUT NOT YARN. I think it looks nasty after a few washes.

When I first started, I tied my items with crochet cotton, I think it was called Knit-crosheen. It was cotton, so the ties didn't slip, it came in colors to blend with the design, and the look was subtler than yarn. It worked well and held up till I had practiced enough to hand quilt. I think I used it double with a square knot for extra security.

I also think yotube would be the place.

cute options from Karen Griska

the key to tying is doing it close enough together because when washed and used the layers shift a lot more than when quilted. So they tear at the tie.

I used doubled crochet thread when I tied comforters. Just take a couple of stitches about every 3-4".
