I tie and bury both threads together, at beginning and ending of the quilting process. This works well for me.

If you still need additional tips on choosing a design to fit the quilt, just let me know. I'll be happy to share what I've learned/taught as well.

I bought one of those things that you put your needle in and lay the thread across a spot and then put a lever down and it threads the needle for you. I can't remember the name of it, but it is quite handy and saved my patience several times.

Please share your tips with me/us? It sounds like others are having the same problem I do. Thanks for any help/tips.
