    When I start quilting I take one stitch, holding on to the end of the top thread. Then I pull the bottom thread to the top. Pulling both threads to the side, I take a few stitches in place before beginning quilting. I cut the ends off next to the quilt.
    When I am at the end of my quilting I take a few stitches in place, and then cut the ends on back and front.

      Get Ricky's GRAND FINALE dvd.... it is great and he does all of his work on a domestic machine..... the techniques he teaches are a MUST KNOW for all machine quilters....

      I personally like burying the not cause I do not care... tiny stitches or not.... my thread would work loose in my "HEIRLOOM," KEEP FOREVER , SOME DAY THEY WILL BE IN A MUSEUM QUILTS....
