I also have trouble with my hands and tyeing is the way I have to finish the quilts I make. There aremany things said about tying but my favorite is The quilt is done now!. So whatever works for you I say don't worry about it. Marvel

I am part of church quilting group and to keep production going we tie all of our quilts. It is a lot of fun to pick a color that goes with the quilt and enhances an often very scrappy looking quilt.

My guild ties all of our charity quilts.

I would love to know how you machine tack? It sounds interesting. Thanks.
|
Some quilts just beg to be tied. I tried hand quilting, machine quilting, and the only thing that looked OK on one quilt was tying. You did the work, it is your creation, it is up to you how it completes itself!

Thanks for all the wonderful information ... It is very informative, I learn so much just from reading the posts. I will be posting pics today.
