Everything I've found says to leave tails at each knot...but I don't like the look of the tails. Is there a way to tie it without having to leave tails or a way to hide them? Will they stay hidden if I just pull them to the middle of my quilt?

Thanks!
How big of a quilt are you making? If you can post a picture of it maybe I can be of some help. I might be interested in longarm quilting it for you for free in exchange for you passing out some of my business cards to your quilting friends and etc. I just hate to hear that people would like to have it machine quilted but can't afford the cost of a longarmer. Anyway just an idea if you are interested.

Thanks,
