Use easy threading needle to bury the knot in front or back. It's just important not to stitch over the loose ends while you're FMQing.

They make easy-thread needles to make short work of burying thread ends, as in previous post.

I pull the thread to the top and stitch in place a few times at beginning and ending and clip the threads.

I use one of those needles with the open eye, thread it, knot it and bury it.

ditto, to much work to bury all the knots.

There are you tube videos you can watch. Some by Sharon Schambers and some by Leah Day and several others, but the first two named show step by step.

Good Luck

That's what I do.....I don't like burying threads and it takes too much time, besides, they can work themselves back out and still have to be clipped!

When I start I backstitch in place and then just cut the ends off.
