    When I start quilting I take one stitch, holding on to the end of the top thread. Then I pull the bottom thread to the top. Pulling both threads to the side, I take a few stitches in place before beginning quilting. I cut the ends off next to the quilt.
    When I am at the end of my quilting I take a few stitches in place, and then cut the ends on back and front.
