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.

That's how I do it, too, Kate. Just one note -- probably obvious to
everyone but me when I first tried it ;) -- the bobbin thread comes up
to the top as a loop. I thought I'd done something wrong, but of course
it has to do it that way. Duh....
