I saw on a previous post a while back that you can put the yarn down and use the sewing machine to tack it down as well.

I, too, have use a decorative stitch to tie a quilt. It was a small quilt but it worked great. Used the butterfly stitch.
|
Great idea. Thanks for posting it.

I've machine tied a quilt before using one repeat of a decorative stitch. Worked great & the quilt has held up really well.

I Have used the CAMBRIDGE system, with my machine to tack quilts .It is a paper pattern in shapes like hearts, diamonds etc. with hole for sewing. just pin to your quilt and do a tack stitch in each hole, then cut the thread tails off and you are done, Can reuse the pattern over and over. makes a neat look.. dont remember where I got it , but think it was a quilt show in FL.

This is probably old news. But I just recently started using my button sewing option on my machine to tack my donation quilts. Doesn't take as much time as hand tying, and I hope it is just as secure.

Our charity sewing group does this. The animal shelters, and childrens hospitals do not want hand tied quilts because they feel the knots can come undone and create a choking hazard.
