How do I tie off a quilt top?
How can I tie off a quilt top as opposed to having it stitched? I’m trying to tie a quilt top for my first grandchild (a boy!!!) and all I keep coming up with are what could become uncomfortable knots. Any immediate information on this would be greatly appreciated as “Allen” is due in mid-March.
You can use soft baby yarn, embroidery floss, or any washable material. To avoid the whole “knot” issue, why not put the “knots” on the bottom? Start on the bottom, go straight up through to the top, move over 1/4 inch and go down. Come up again along the same “up” route, and back down the “down” route. Tie off on the bottom. It’s nice and secure. That grandson lays on “dashes” of yarn or string and the backside is plain with the decorative ties!
Good luck, Gram! Enjoy that baby!
