I just took a quilting class where that issue was discussed. Now, when I do a straight stitch, I change the stitch length to .6 mm and sew about 5-7 stitches. Then I change to the normal stitch length (2.5 or 3 mm depending) and sew the rest of the line/pattern. Just before I get to the end of my stitching, I reset the stitch length down to the tiny size as in the beginning. Then I can simply trim the thread (using my thread cutter) OR I can pull the needle up and move the quilt to start a new line with the thread still attached. I simply start with the same method (tiny - normal - tiny). It works!!!!!
