Thread tails on quilt back
Hello to all,
I'm finally beginning the machine embroidery on a quilt that just didn't want to be finished. I've kept it simple, not changing the pattern at all. At the beginning of the pattern I pull up the bobbin thread, there are a few securing stitches made, and I clip off the top and bobbin threads. At the end of the pattern there are also some securing stitches, then the machine pulls the top thread to the back and then clips both threads; it leaves tails about 3/4" long. Is it safe to trim these threads? I've seen some mentions that "you don't want to do that," but I don't know why if there are some securing threads in place. All info gratefully accepted...thanks!
