I pull up the bottom thread, sew eight or ten tiny little stitches really close together in the direction opposite of the one that the line will go in, then I come back along that same line, snip the thread ends when they're clear and continue sewing. No knots and it will take a VERY long time for that sewing will work itself free. :)
