FMQ Question: what do with ends?

In the videos I've seen teaching free motion quilting, they tell you that when you start, to pull up the bottom thread to the top. Okay.
So when you're done, then what? What do you do with all these ends that are now on the top?
Thanks!

I prefer, because I am not the neat, to pull them to the back, tie the two together with a square knot, then thread a needle with the two threads, and bury into the middle of the batting...... that is the CORRECT way to do it....myself I cut them off and call it good !!!

i pull both threads to the top, take a few stitches tightly together, then stop and trim those threads. then i continue. when done, i take some stitches tightly together and then clip those threads. done.

i bring the bobbin to the top, stitch in place- then 2-3 very tiny stitches and take off- then clip even with the top....when stopping i take a few stitches in place again- bring the bobbin to the top and clip again.
