It is a good idea to knot and trim the threads as you go so you don't end up sewing over them in the next pass of quilting. Some times my bobbin runs out in the middle of the quilt and I have to unstitch the quilting several stitches so I can knot the thread and bury it before countinuing.
hope this helps a little.

do you just put it on a sewing needle and stitch it to the top?
