Tied quilt
1 Attachment(s)
I don't very often tie a quilt or pillowcase a quilt but I did both and put it on my Q snap frame. I use a long piece ofembroidery floss and go across the quilt every 3 inches. After the whole top is done, I flip the frame over and cut between the stitches and knot the ends. Here is a picture of the back all knotted. [ATTACH=CONFIG]572814[/ATTACH]

thanks for showing how you do it.

I'm so glad you showed me how you tied it and, also, that you're using the Q-frame. Love mine!!! Know you said it was both pillowcased and tied....did you use batting and, if so, what type? And did pillowcasing eliminate the need for basting? Thanks!

If it is on the frame good and tight, there shouldn't need a basting since you are running a stitch every 3 inches.

I just used a Walmart polyester batting. I stitched around the outside with the backing and top on top of the batt leaving about a 12 inch opening for turning. I then trimmed away all the fabric and batting to the 1/4 inch seam allowance and clipped the corners a bit. I turned it inside out through the opening and smoothed it out flat. I gave it a light press with a warm iron (not hot as it can melt the polyester batt) and then put it right up on the frame. The clips went on and I just rotated them until the whole sandwich was taut.

So you have the knots on the back of the quilt? Or am I seeing it wrong. Sure do like the idea!
|
Yes, knots on the back but you can do front or back, it is personal choice.
|
Your quilt looks great and glad I'm not the only one who likes the knots on the back. As you stated personal choice and no qp in the area.
|
I have always put the knots on the back of my tied quilts. I decided long ago that I liked the look better. Be sure to trim the strings short so little ones won't wind the strings around their fingers and cut off the circulation.

Very pretty. Had never had the knots on the back, but am working up to tying some quilts and intend to do that.
Thanks. Mariah |
