Didn't know I could do that - will have to give it a try - do you just raise the pressure foot and then put the needle in and back up and the bobbin thread comes up??? I will try that when I got off this board.

I am new to machine quilting, with that said. How do you bring the bobbin thread up? Not sure I know what this means. Thanks

To bring up bobbin thread, with the presser foot down, let the needle go down into the quilt and back up one time. Grab the needle thread and pull. The bobbin thread will come up.

When you are ready to stop, pull the quilt away from your stitching area 3 or 4 inches and take one stitch. Use your automatic thread cutter and then pull the needle thread. It will bring the bobbin thread up again right where you ended your stitching. All of your threads are on top for burying. If you were doing a design that starts and ends in the same place, you can bury all 4 thread at once with a cheater needle.

I guess you can see thread burying is not my favorite thing either. I've come up with ways to make it easier.

What a great idea, I'll have to look for a pair so I won't accidentally "clip" a hole in my quilts. Thank you for the idea.

I love these scissors and use them all the time.
They also come in pointed.

Staples had them this weekend for $1. for a 2 pack.

They also come in a more blunt design.
