Because I can't do that with this Brother, the end gets tangled underneath. Sometimes I can untangle it, but often not. This makes my SITD look messy on the back. kwim?

I was taught to hold the top thread and make your first stitch. Pull it to get your bobbin thread on top of your fabric. Now you can pull both threads together either to the side or back. This should keep them from tangling. Hope this helps
