Here's what I did on a baby quilt.
I pulled up the bobbin thread by lowering my needle once and bringing it back up with my 'needle up/down button'.
I went two stitches forward and two back and then sewed.
After I quilted the entire thing, I sat in front of the tv and buried the long threads into the quilt and snipped the ends.
Is this the correct/best way? Don't know - it's what I did for a baby flannel quilt that was not going to be judged...just loved.
I agree to take your time using the walking foot...let it do the work.
Check the back occasionally.
I reminded myself (and sometimes out loud) that I was quilting faster than hand sewing...so relax and enjoy the process!

I think I will print this out and put it beside my machine!! Great hints! Thanks!!

Oops, sorry for "empty" reply!
Does your Brother have the option to use the peddle or the buttons instead? You can set the speed for using the button. I find that even if I use the peddle and the speed is set slow then the machine will still stitch only up to the set speed with the peddle! (I've done the "panic" stitching too many times also!)
