Why do a boring tedious task if I don't need to?

I've been asking myself this question a lot lately, about a lot of different things in my life!!

What am I missing? Why do I not want to do this and want to bury them instead?

I use this method, using a long needle and dental floss for thread.

[QUOTE=GEMRM;7940312]If the reason anyone dislikes burying threads is the actual threading the needle process, using the side threading needles like Sench needles makes that less painful! You can thread both threads at the same time and then bury them.
Here's a link to the Sench needles in case you're not familiar with them:

Yes, the actual threading is a pain cause sometimes one is longer than other or too short. I'm off to hobby lobby to see if they have some.

I also use this method, no more threading needles over and over, just the once and off you go. I like the dental floss idea, I will try that next time.

Since my quilts are not in shows I do the tiny stitches or lock stitch. I want them to be well used so I do all I can on my machine.

I have always buried my threads in all my sewing. It is just something I was taught to do, so it doesn't bother me to do it.
