When using the DSM I just made tiny stitches at the beginning and end, or else I backstitched. I started out on the longarm making several stitches in place, but now I have started knotting and burying the threads. I think it looks much nicer, and it isn't really taking that long.

I bury them.

I always knot and bury them. I don't want anything to come undone on the outside of the quilt. I call in 'insurance'!!!!!
