A method of holding a quilt together without making lines of running stitches. 1, record 4, English, - tying
Record number: 4, Textual support number: 1 OBS
To tie a quilt, you take a single stitch, at regular intervals, through all layers, leaving thread ends long enough to tie in a knot on the quilt top. Tying is faster than quilting with a running stitch, and more practical when the filler is thick or otherwise difficult to handle. 1, record 4, English, - tying

Pour capitonner un quilt, on fait un point simple à travers les trois épaisseurs, à intervalles réguliers, en laissant les fils assez longs pour les nouer sur le dessus.
