I like to pull the bobbin thread up, about 6" long and hold it, take a few small stitches forward and then start free motion. I don't like to back tack 'cause it causes a double thickness of thread. After I stop FMQ I pull the bobbin thread up, clip leaving about 6". Then I knot and bury the thread ends.
I also don't like to stitch in place 'cause it makes a big thread lump on the back of the quilt.
peace
