I have done that. What I did was get the needle as close as possible to where I want to bury it. I go ahead and stick the needle in about 1/2 way. I use a needle threader to pull the thread through the eye then pull the needle the rest of the way through the fabric. I use the tiniest drop of fabric glue to seal the hole.

Unless the quilt is to be judged, I would, also, just remove the quilting stitches for a couple of inches, bury the thread and requilt the last few inches. As my grandmother would say, "Nobody'll notice it on a galloping horse!"

http://www.joann.com/june-tailor-fra...z/4649497.html. I've used this product. It dries soft. A small dot where the thread enters the fabric might be enough to keep the thread from popping out, if it's really short. Warning...the stuff is really runny, so applying with a toothpick after you squirt it out might give you more control on the amount you want and where you want it.

I've used this method. It is quick and easy and at least you don't have to worry about your threads pulling loose.
