One of the unavoidable side effects of quilting is thread breaks. Every time you start and stop quilting, you'll end up with two loose threads on your quilt. How do you tie off these threads securely so your quilting stitches don't come
out?
Personally I like to tie off my threads and bury them into the middle layer of my quilt. After I finish quilting and break thread, I gently tug on the top thread to bring the bobbin thread up to the surface and tie them both in a knot. Then I pop both threads into a
Cheater Needle, a special needle designed to be threaded quickly from the top.
Next insert the needle exactly where the threads are coming out of the quilt and run it about 1 inch through the batting layer of the quilt. Pull the needle out and give the threads a gentle tug, the knot gets pulled into the middle layer of the quilt and the threads are perfectly
secure.
