That's exactly the same way I do it...

This is how I do it for FMQ and walking foot quilting. I like doing it as I go along so it doesn't seem so overwhelming and the thread ends don't get too tangled. Good end of the day in front of the tv activity.

Yes, the easy thread needle has a slot at the top. I have it nearby on a little mat with batting on it. This way, the threads are buried as I go along.

I like to do the small stitches technique but I have just started at the edge and worked my way to the middle then out again. I always trim my quilt after quilting anyway.

Tartan thank-you for your reply that was very helpful. Pudge, I too struggle with this so glad you posted the question.

I just do a couple of stitches back and forth and go on. The same at the end and after changing bobbins. I don't bury the threads. It works well for me. I either keep or give away my quilts, no one has complained yet.
