..on my longarm, on which I do quilting, I pull that bobbin thread up, hold it together with top thread, take one stitch in place, move the head just 1 or 2 threads over, take another stitch, and a third, then I gently tug on those tails and I can feel the knot I have created on the underside pop into the batting, then I clip those tails right against the top fabric and they too sink in... That's how I was instructed a long time ago....
