Knotting/tieing Quilts
 
I have some quilts that I want to tie instead of quilting and I was wondering what others use to tie them with. I have seen yarn, crochet thread and embrodiery floss. But want to know what others use and what they like to use best. Thanks for your help.

Pearl cotton used for crocheting. It is strong, comes in many colors and is slender enough it disappears into the quilt.

I've used embroidery floss that works quite well. It comes in many colors.

I've used yarn, embroidery floss and perle cotton. I like the perle cotton best. I also use the perle cotton to do "big stitch" quilting. Fun, fast and pretty.

This what I use too. My daughters love tied quilts. They are fluffy and soft for the start. Good Luck!

I've only tied one quilt and I used embroidery floss. I put the ties on the back as the quilt is on my bed and my cats love strings.

I have used many of the things already mentioned, but my favorite is baby yarn.

I was taught by my grandma to use yarn and I love this but, I also like ebroidery floss especially for kids quilts. I have never tried the crochet thread but I am going to.
