I would rather finish an area and cut, knot and bury the thread rather than have to unsew several inches of finished work to get enough thread to knot and bury.

This is a lesson I learned with a lot of practice and yes the end of a bobbin doesn't sew as nice.

I transfer leftover thread to bobbins for my DHM for quilting small projects so I am not really wasting a lot.
