My mom and I always tie and always use yarn. Use baby yarn for baby quilts. double knot. My 32 year old niece asked my mom to finally but a new back on a quilt mom made when she was a baby. We always make them at least WOF X a yard and a half.
We have never had a problem or even a tie come out and the quilts are used. I got mad at my son for using a special one mom had given him. He informed me he was honoring mom by using it!! I KNOW he is right.
We have a frame like thing dad made to stretch it on. We tie at least every 6 inches as fits the pattern. We use polyester batting from Oklee Quilt company. We once threw a piece in the wash with no outside or tieing. Through sever washes it never even changed shape. It works for us

As far as flyers from Joann's go....I was told that their flyers arrive at the local post offices up to 3 mos before they are to be delivered and sometimes it takes that long for your name to be on one that arrives. Mine have finally started coming in.
