Quilt tying
#1
Just wondering why and how do you tie a quilt? If you did a plan square block quilt and tied it would you still stitch in the ditch too? Sorry I'm new to quilting and have seen post where people say they are going to tie their quilts. Just wondering why and how you do it?

I helped my mom tie all her grandchilden a quilt and she always used white crochet thread and it works great and stays tied. She tied a knot then cliped the threads to about an inch long. There was 11 grandchildren. She pieced 5" squares on her featherweight and made all of them a quilt before she passed away. Good memories helping her tie them.

I tied one because I wasn't really fond of the top when it was finished and I didn't want to spend all the time it takes to quilt. I didn't do it by hand. I used the button sewing stitch on my machine to tack it about every 4 inches. It worked well.
