What is machine tacking? I would like to know because I plan on tieing one in the near future

I've never tied a quilt, but I LOVE the way it looks! If I ever get around to making one for myself that's how I'll do it.

As for machine stitching, practice practice practice. Nobody is a pro at it the first couple of times out!

I love tied quilts. One of my favorite quilts is a trip around the world that I tied with yarn in each corner.

My GMIL hand tied a quilt for my husband and I before we were married. It is still the quilt I grab for a nap. It is so snuggly and it makes me think of her. I treasure it.

i hand quilt, machine quilt and tie depending on the individual quilt. while in my mind, a tied quilt is a "comforter", I don't think the method of finishing determines whether or not it is a "quilt". I think of a tied quilt as being puffy and snugglier, but thats just me.

My mom ties all hers. Likes that they make them look old fashion. I think they are quite pretty.

Must try this technique! I find that quilts that are going to be used/washed a lot wear better if they are tied. Those that are not headed to the laundry on a weekly basis I will FMQ. Just my opinion on this....

I think tied quilts are fluffy and soft. I know of a church where a small tied quilt is given to a member who is in need of prayer. Each knot is tied by a church member on Sunday morning, with a promise to say a prayer.

I have tied a lot of quilts. In fact, it seems the tied ones are the one my kids like the best.

I think it's a perfectly fine way of finishing a quilt. I made a tied quilt for my mother about 15 years ago and it's been washed and dried a number of times and it's still alive and well.
