Thank you so much for watching. I hope you enjoyed this tutorial on How To Tie A Quilt. Please leave a comment and let me know what you think about this video. 😊
That is the way I was taught to tie a quilt. Before the fancy stitches appeared on the sewing machines. I'm dating myself again. I'm 62 yrs young as my grandmother would say. Lol 🙂❤
❤️❤️❤️
Hi Sherrill. Thanks for show this method of tying a quilt, it’s how my mom taught me. She never did see her quilts together, she tied them. My mom did her quilts in the 70’s & 80’s and I remember when she taught me in 2000. I have some of her unfinished quilt tops and she passed right before Covid. I was undecided how I want to finish them, but I think some I will tie since that’s how she would have done it:) Thank you
Hi Marcella. Thank you for sharing your personal story. Thanks for watching, and happy sewing. 😍
Hi Sherrill! I just funished tying a lap size quilt that will be donated to a veteran at the VA. One of the other videos I watched suggested using plyers to pull the needle through. I wish I had thought of that. This is my 3rd quilt. Still learning a lot and have a lot to learn. Love all your videos. I've been sewing for around 70 years, but still learn new techniques from your videos. Thank you! Hi Manny!! Pat in FL.
Hi Patricia. Thanks for sharing. Glad the videos help. Thanks for watching💗 and happy sewing😍
I enjoy your tutorials and the way you explain everything so well. I love how kind and friendly you are.
Thank you so much 😊
When it comes to threading the needle with yarn, I highly recommend using a small strip of paper. Fold the strip in half, with the tail of your yarn in the middle, stick the unfolded end into the eye, pull through, and then it's threaded! I'm an avid crocheter and I use this method to help weave in my ends
Hi Cashtown. That is a great tip💗👍 Thank you so much. I will use this method and pass the info onto the other viewers. Glad you enjoyed the tie quilt tutorial. Thanks for watching💗and happy sewing😍
Great idea, thank you, will have to try this method. :)
I sure enjoy tying a quilt. So many hours spent around quilt frames with family and friends.
❤️❤️😊
These are honestly my favorite kinds of quilts! I love quilts that look like one your grandma would make years and years ago!
I’m also a lefty! There are so many ways it can be an obstacle when trying to learn things, so I love when I find fellow lefties. 😊
Hi JS. I am so glad the tie quilt tutorial was helpful. Merry Christmas, and happy sewing. 😍
Just watched your tie quilt. Making one for daughters 25 th wedding anniversary. Granddaughters helped make the squares. All the squares are hand sewn and the quilt is called a promise quilt. I am now looking for the needle. Granddaughter s are going to help with tying
Bev
Happy Sewing ❤️
You are my favorite teacher on youtube for sewing instructions. I’ve watched 100’s by now probably. I am a beginner and have just finished my 3rd quilt for my grandkids, I used your method for inside out quilt and they all turned out pretty good for a beginner. Thank you for being so thorough and having so many easy to follow instructions. You have such a sweet way about you too.
Wow, thank you very much. Thanks for watching, and happy sewing. 😍
I love this quilt. I made one this way, and thought my yarn was too widely spaced because of the way it cinched up; so I made closer stitches. However, I really like the way yours looks. The cinching gives it another dimension, taking a “basic” quilt to a new level. Thank you for taking the time to share your knowledge with us.
You’re welcome 😊
Thanks Sherrill, you are an excellent teacher And I love this easy way to finish a quilt.🇨🇦💕
Thank you so much 😊
Thank you for the tip to have the yarn continue through the entire row.
Hi Govan Dynasty. Glad the tip was helpful. Thanks for watching, and happy sewing. 😍
@@TheSewingRoomChannel thank you
I love tying quilts. My tip is to find the smallest needle that the yarn will fit through (the eye). If the eye of the needle is very large it’s more difficult to pull it through the layers of fabric.
Hi Lucy. Great tip👍 Thanks for watching💗 and happy sewing😍
Great idea to use cotton yarn. I’ve used embroidery floss and regular yarn but this looks better😊
Hi Leah. Thanks for sharing👍 Thanks for watching💗 and happy sewing😍
I knew how to do it, but i love watching people tying off quilts. I am going to make a king size, since i have a small home sewing machine, i plan on tying my quilt, i may also add buttons.
.
Thanks for watching 😊
You are a Excellent Teacher! I Gotta Try This! Sheila 🧡🧡
Hi Sheila. Glad the quilt tie tutorial was helpful. Thanks for watching, and happy sewing. 😍
Thank you. I am ripping out the quilting on a quilt I was to give LAST Christmas. The quilt top is fine, but the quilting is very puckered mostly because I didn't follow the rules and spun it around many times (on a small machine) to go around squares as I wanted different color thread for different squares. I thinking at this point I will tie it with embroidery floss. I think square knots shouldn't come out. I can switch colors easily. It will be much faster and more fail proof. I made many quilts before but too many factors played into this quilting being more difficult.
Hi Carol. Hope this tutorial was helpful. Thanks for watching💗and happy sewing😍
Thank you so much for sharing your wisdom 🙂💖 I started a quilt for my daughter's birthday and I couldn't finish it before her birthday because I wasn't sure how to finish it. Thank you so much 😁🥰 for showing me how to do it. Happy sewing 🧵🪡
Thank you so much for watching and happy sewing! 😍
I'm here for the same reason! My daughter is turning 10, and I'm making a quilt out of her old baby clothes. Her party is in 2 days so I'm scrambling to get it done. My squares didn't line up perfectly. I think this method might help hide the imperfections 🤞
I just love you Sherrill! You have just taught me so much! Thanks Sherrill...💓
You are so welcome
We used this way when our sewing group made lap sized quilts to give to charities and group homes etc.
❤️❤️❤️
I was just wondering about how this worked. This is great, I had no idea it was so easy
Super easy!
Love this - seems much easier than I expected. Definitely going to try this method next. Thank you
You’re welcome 😊

What a beautiful quilt love the colors. My very first quilt 41 years ago was for my daughter and I tied it. Have not tied one since but may have to try it again, Thanks for sharing. Nicole
You’re welcome 😊
I'm planning my first quilt and plan to use this technique. Thanks for showing how you do it in such detail.
You’re welcome 😊
Thanks so much for these instructions. I was just fixing to sandwich my quilt top and this is just exactly what I needed 😌
Hi Kathy. Glad this tutorial was helpful in using yarn to tie a quilt. Thanks for watching, and happy sewing. 😍
Thanks My first time to see this done
Me too and I have several made this way. I think my great Grandma and grandma made them together, but I'm not sure. Glad I finally know how because the way I thought it was done is not correct.
You’re welcome 😊
Thank you for sharing this technique think I will be trying this way on my next quilt.
Yes! Please give it a try. 😊
thank you I going to do this to my quilt.
Hi Judy. Glad the tutorial was helpful. Thanks for watching, and happy sewing. 😍
Thank you or the video. This technique is one I have seen in a ew o my grandmother's quilts. One suggestion - it would also be helpful to see the back of the quilt and what it looks like with ties during process and when finished.
You’re welcome. I will try to post a picture of the back. 😊
This is just what I was looking for. Excellent video, thank you🙂
Hi Suzi. Glad the quilt tie tutorial was helpful! Thanks for watching, and happy sewing. 😍
Thank you so much for doing this video!!!
You’re welcome 😊
Exactly the video I needed, thank you so much!
Hi Anika. Glad the tutorial was helpful. Thanks for watching💗and happy sewing😍
Thanks so much for going over this. My son received a quilt from the church ladies when he was baptized. It has ties in it. And I found a really pretty old quilt from a thrift place that also has ties. So I've been wondering about that.
You’re welcome 😊
This was the technique before sewing machines.
Nice details. Thanks.
Hi Mary. Glad you liked the yarn tie quilt. Thanks for watching, and happy sewing. Merry Christmas😍
I never used that kind of yarn for tying. I am excited to try it soon.
Yes! Please give it a try. ❤️
I love this. I'm always looking for ideas for projects to try. So thank you! 😊
You’re welcome 😊
Wow! Genius!!!
Hi Corcheted. Glad you liked the tutorial. Thanks for watching💗 and happy sewing😍

Hi and how are you Sheryl? That's how I learn. Fun.thanks a bunch
I’m doing well. How are you?
Great tutorial as always!
Glad you liked it!
Thank you!
Hi Nancy. Glad you like the tutorial on how to tie a quilt with yarn. Thanks for watching, and happy sewing. 😍
My grandma used to do this technique, I never cared for the look. I have made several king size quilts and I just stitch around the perimeter and don’t make any attachments it doesn’t seem to need any.
What batting do you use if you’re not stitching according to the batting companies guidelines? Please explain, I hadn’t heard of that technique before.
@@SparkyOne549 Good point, I’m only doing the perimeter so after several year it will shift. Thanks for pointing that out
@@sameoldsonganddance I didn’t mean to point out anything. I had never heard of anyone doing it that way. I was hoping you could tell me an easier way of doing it lol But now that you mention shifting, not only will it shift, when it’s washed, it will fall apart anywhere you haven’t sewn, after washing it or general use. That’s why batting companies recommend stitching at specific inches. It’s not just for aesthetics, batting will fall apart.
@@SparkyOne549 hi 🙋🏻♀️ I do close it up I hand stitched 10,000+ stitches per quilt I think I’m going to go back and make a small crisscross X in same color thread 🧵 at different areas. Thanks!
@@sameoldsonganddance Wow, a hand stitched quilt, that’s amazing! That effort would make anyone personally have a lot more pride in their quilts if they do that also. I’ve never made a quilt but I am already planning on my first, i am definitely not going to hand stitch it though lol.
Thank you for another wonderful tutorial! I am going to make a friend a quilt and was dreading the machine binding. Now I don't have to :) I can use this method! Could you show us the back? I know you're pulling the yarn through the top and all the layers in order to tie it. Would love to see the back unfinished an finished. Thank you again for sharing all your knowledge :)
You’re welcome. I will try to get a picture posted of the back. Thanks for watching!
I love your channel and I also teach sewing. I have a method to tie a really strong knot that I would love to show you. I learned from a lady in her 90s about 30 years ago. Is there a way that I can send you a little video on how to create a super strong hand tied knot? It’s almost like you do it now but before you tie down the Final loop loop the end through one more time as you’re pulling it down you’ll see two loops that will move towards each other as you pull and kiss each other this is a super strong and very flat knot that never comes out.
Hi Christy. I would love to see it. Are you a part of The Sewing Room Channel Facebook group? If yes, would you be able to post in the group? 😊
Just wondering Sheryl if the batting gets caught in the feed dog. Just wondering since it’s not flat. TY
Thank you
You’re welcome 😊
Hi, I’m assuming I go through all the layers of fabric when threading the yarn? Just wanting to make sure!
Hi Gracie. Yes go through all the layers. Thanks for watching💗 and happy sewing😍
How cool ! I am learning a lot, thanks to you and youur vids. 👍👏👏👏😍💓😘 Namaste 🙏🇦🇺
Thank you 😊
We had these types of quilts when I was growing up. The only difference was the ties were in the middle of the squares.
Hi Lynn. Thanks for watching. 😊
Sherrill do you recommend this for baby quilts? Would you tie it so the knots are on the back for a baby quilt?
You could gauge the needle to stop at the batting before coming back up. Hard to do though.
So my daughter and I are not sewers, but thought this would be perfect. After tying the yarn all through we washed it and all the ends frayed. We put fray check on the nots and they are fine, but the ends are all frayed. Any suggestions would be appreciated, TIA Barbara
Hi Barbara. Some fraying is hard to avoid. I don't have any other suggestions. The Fraycheck is the only method I know of. Thanks for watching💗and happy sewing😍
@@TheSewingRoomChannel thank you. I cut off all the fray made the ties a lot shorter and put the fray check on the ends of the ties as well. Rewashed and dried and it didn’t fray. Thank you.
Very good love it😍Teresa Stacey🇦🇺🌹
Thank you 😊
What kind of needle is used ?
Would that needle be too big for a flannel quilt top?
Hi Karen. Dritz sells a small variety package of large needles. Try those to see which one works best on your blanket. I purchased mine from Walmart. Thanks for watching, and happy sewing. 😍
I have my quilt sandwich together…not stitched. Want to hand tie…do I need to see around the edge of the quilt before tying. I’m going to bind it after hand tying
Hi Aunt. I'm not sure what you are asking - "do I need to see around the edge of the quilt before tying". Are you asking should you bind it first? Yes you can bind it after hand tying. Glad you liked the tie a quilt with yarn tutorial. Thanks for watching💗and happy sewing😍
@@TheSewingRoomChannel I’m sorry for my typo! I was thinking that I need to SEW all around the quilt sandwich before tying but I guess pin basting would be the answer. Thanks for your help!
Most videos show the distance between where you put the needle in and where it comes out to be quite wide? Would you explain why? I don't understand the purpose
Does that needle tip damage your fabric? I have used that in the past and it worries me that my fabric will have a permanent hole.
Logically thinking, If its tied correctly, there isn’t a hole, there will only be a hole or holes if you take the ties out.
I think you would want a needle with a sharp tip and only as large of an eye as necessary. For example, not the kind used to sew knitting together because they are blunt and big. I might look at crewel stitches to see if they are sharp as I don't remember. And I would make a square knot. I am not sure if colored cotton yarn or floss will bleed. I am intending to try try red floss and will test it before I use it. Years ago I heard you could set the color with vinegar I would see what people say and test it first.
What needle did you use?
Hi Viva. I use a 90/14 sewing machine needle to stitch the quilt together. I do not know the size of my hand needle, but it was made my Singer. It came in a package of large eye hand needles. Merry Christmas. Thanks for watching, and happy sewing. 😍
@@TheSewingRoomChannel thank you for the reply!! Merry Christmas ⛄🎄
What size are the squares?
Hi Jody. You can cut your squares any size you want. The squares in the quilt were about 5 1/2" square. Hope this helps. Thanks for watching💗 and happy sewing😍
