Do you use a leader when you piece?

I don't; normally I just hold the thread if it seems to be a problem but rarely. One thing you might try; my manual for my Viking said to hook the thread over your thread cutter and that would prevent it from nesting and cut it lose as you sew. Worth a shot

I do..I keep a box of 2 1/2 squares beside the machine, and I start by sewing two of those together...eventually, you have enought of these "leaders" to put together into 4 patch or whatever, and you have another quilt going, along with the real one you are working on at the time.
