I would tie first then bind. If you do not like knots there is a way of tying without knots. Someone taught me this years ago and it really works. 1 2
3 4 Thread (yarn etc) down on point 1, up on 4, down on one, and up on two, down on three, and up on four. The thread is cut and ends remain showing on one and four. You will have an x on the top of the comforter and a z on the back side. you can pull on the ends and they will not come out. This is great for a baby quilt they will be laying on as there are no knots to be uncomfortable. |
Tie it first and then bind. I tie about every 3 inches when I use this method.

Yes and it does go pretty fast!

Does that replace the quilting??? Thanks for enlightening me :wink: :lol:

I'll "try to remember" this if I ever make a small quilt. Amazing what this young man is doing. I'm afraid my stiff fingers couldn't tie one inch threads, tho. Looks like you have really good help!

Oh, thanks so much!! Am anxious now to get to it. Suppose I should get Christmas behind me first. Also, have to make woodpecker food. Then to the quilt. Thanks again.
