It a very fine thread. Its not invisible thread, but it shows very little. I was using my Juki and this was the first thing I used it to FMQ. I loosened the tension a bit and slowed down a little and didn't have any more problems. It was mostly just at first.

I like to pull back a few stitches, tie a knot, bury the knot and start again by pulling up the new bottom thread, tie a knot and bury it next to the first one. It just looks better-and holds better. The biggest problem with broken threads is that they so often happen right in the middle of the project where they will be the most visible.

I would think you'd want to tie the ends a little ways back and bury the threads but from time to time I use fray check as it doesn't seem to show when dry, hoping this will keep the threads from coming undone. I also start stitching a few stitches back too.

I remove about an inch or more of the stitches, pull threads to the top, knot and bury. Restart as close to this point as possible. Later I'll go back and knot and bury my restarting threads.

I like to unthread, knot and bury. It just looks neater to me and not that much time spent for a better-looking finish.

I think it depends on the quilts purpose and how you want it to look. Both methods are fine to use and work.

I am a knot and bury person. I often go back about 3 inches and put in a pin to mark the spot the start stitching from that point. When finished, I will return and pull out the three inches of stitches, know and bury. For me this works rather than stopping and pulling out stitches. Seems to be a little faster or I may delusional.

I’m a visual learner. I found this video very helpful. I keep self threading needles by my machine.
