Unfortunately, most machines that have a "locking stitch" only stitch in the same place, and if you cut that off, you lose the locking, that is why I use the several short stitches.
This is exactly what I do. My Juki's thread cutter cuts the ends nice and short... then I go back with my curved scissor and snip them.
