    When using echo or stich-in-the-ditch quilting, how do you manage the stops and starts?

    bring bobbin thread to the top- hold both threads together and start with 3-5 tiny stitches to lock the threads- then continue on. when stopping again take a number of tiny stitches to lock the thread- bring bobbin thread to the top and clip both threads
