When all done you knot these threads close to the quilt top and then thread them on a needle and pull them between your layers to hide them and then your sewing won't come undone. Some people use the feature on their machines that sews a stitch in one spot but this will leave a little bump on the back of your quilt. Working your threads between the layers gives it a smooth look on the back so your quilt can be reversible

When I start quilting I push the button to take the needle down, push it to bring the needle up, crab the top thread on each side of the little dip and pull it up, it brings the bobbin thread up and I take tip of the scissors and pull the bobbin thread to the top. I stitch a stitch forward and backward to lock the stitch and continue on my way. I then cut both threads close to quilt and it never comes down, I end the same way. Make sure you don't try to start where there is a seam allowance, it won't work, too thick . This way always works for me.

If you put your presser foot down before you go after the bottom thread, it will come up each time...

Thanks. You see, I'm still at base level on a lot of things. One is never too old to learn.
