I have a queen sized quilt that I tied years ago but never did get it bound. I used a perle cotton on it. This was before I ever thought to have anything machine quilted by someone and I wasn't going to hand quilt it because it is foundation pieced on muslin.
Now that I have my own long arm, I am going to put it into the frame and quilt it, just need to snip the yarn. Haven't decided if I will do that before or after. Might be really easy to just load it as is and take out the ties as I go.
