I probably worded that wrong so I will try again. When you finish sewing a line in pp. you stop and always have that extra thread left over. Then when you go to the next line you have the needle thread to contend with.
For regular sewing I sew off onto a scrap of fabric and use that same fabric to start up again. You really can't do this in pp so how are you all handling this.
I love pp but hate those darn threads.
I use a very small stitch length (1.2) if you really want to be sure you can do one or two back stitches at the end but it really isn't necessary the stitches are small and tight and alot of time they get crossed over with other pieces anyway. Yup just cut them
