I do have a stupid question: When using decorative stitching on your machines, how do you lock the stitches in at the end? I have a Bernina but have never used any of these decorative stitches. If I can learn how to lock in the stitches, that will sure change thanks to this topic!
Not a stupid question. I'd like to know that, too. I back-stitched once, then trimmed close. I know there's a better way. But I was just playing around. I'd love to know the right way.
Try leaving the needle down, switch to straight stitch, shorten stitch as short as possible and stitch in place. That should lock the stitches.
