    I just remembered something my Grandma would use yarn to tie the quilt and would stitch the knot so it wouldn't untie.

    Thank you Katey, nearly midnight here now, so off to bed must get some sleep before two days of quilting in between the other chores and caring of Mum, not much sleep then but worth it if I can get this one finished.

    I won't tie quilts with yarn anymore. Yarn ties were my preferred method when I first started quilting. However, I found some yarn ravelled, some un-tied and some melted. If I ever tie again, I'll use perle cotton. I actually find it faster to machine quilt now than to tie a quilt and I think the machine quilting stands up better to repeat washings. I had some of my tied quilts that had shifted batting or ties pulling out after many washes.
