I've made a habit of pulling thread out from the needle for one reason. When you pull it out from on top you are pulling against the thread grain and you will get more lint. Doesn't seem like much but over the years I can see the wrong way as contributing lots of lint to the insides of your machines.

I just got a job working at a Sew and Vac store. Absolutely, cut at top and pull out at bottom near needle. It's that thread's leave lint and can get left behind on the machine. It's what they told me when I bought my first embroidery machine too.
