I used to do the tiny stitches method, but I was never really happy with the results. So for the past six months or so, I've been doing the burying method where I pull up the bobbin thread, make a small knot and bury the threads into the batting using a cheater needle and I am soooo much happier with the resulting look. Nice and neat and to me, worth the few extra minutes it takes to knot and bury the threads.
