Re: Machine qulting

Hey Alice:

And for another way to end your stitching.

When you get to the point where you want to stop, move your quilt away
from the needle about 4 inches, grab hold of the top thread and hang on
to it. Now move the quilt back into position so the needle will go
back into the hole and take another stitch, move the quilt again and
the bobbin thread will come to the top of the quilt, then cut both
threads.

When machine quilting, is there a way to bring both top and bobbin threads
to the top at the end of a row of stitching? I can do it at the beginning,
and thought I'd heard of a way to do it at the end. It's so much easier to
clip the threads that way.
