I too leave my ends long and tie a knot then bury them. If using silk or thick threads (bobbin work) you must do this, or the ends will come undone. I don't find it to be so time consuming. I will stop and tie off a couple at a time, instead of leaving them all to the end. I've tried to make small stitches at the beginning and the ends of my fmq and don't like the end result, it looks messy, I think. I use a quick threading needle for thinner threads and it goes fast to do a few at a time.
