I do a lock stitch, then cut the threads long and bury them.

I just start out at 1.0 stitch size and also end with that. no knots.

I'm in the knot and bury camp too!
I know some do a few stitches and clip their threads ... too dangerous for my likings! I would never feel "safe" that it would not ravel out with time. |

QB members are kind of split half and half on this issue. I leave my threads long and knot and bury them in the sandwich with a easy thread needle.

I sew in place when I start or stop and then use the auto cutter. I re snip any thread left. I tried to ravel out a stopping point and couldn't do it so the stitching isn't coming out from the stitching in place. I use very thin thread that matches or blends so the over lapped stitching isn't noticeable front or back.

Here is a picture of my stitch in place and snipping the thread. It works great for me and saves a lot of time.

Because I am a little lazy and my machine cuts a very short end stitch I backstich there, at the start I back stitich, I could change to a tiny stitch but do not, but maybe I should. I see when I was trimming threads this morning a couple beginning spots where I did not backstitch came unravelled, so I will have to sew up when I am done quilting. Interesting to see comments about this topic. Thanks for asking.

I use tiny stitches at the beginning and end. I start with 0, then move up in increments until I'm at my regular length. Maybe 2-3 stitches per number.
