I have a machine that has a fix button so it takes a few stitches in place and then goes on to sew. Same at the other end with a stop or a cut feature that ties off the thread and then cuts it. I don't know anything about your machine but my previous one didn't have those features and I just sewed a few stitches in place. Worked fine for me. I have pulled the threads to the top when quilting but this is so much easier.
