Question: I normally bring my bobbin thread to the top when I begin. I gently pull my top thread to the left while slowly turning the wheel counterclockwise until the bobbin thread comes up.

When ending a line of quilting how would I bring that bobbin thread up again? I've not heard of this yet and it would make my clean-up much faster.

This youtube video is about bringing the bobbin thread up when you have a thread break, but it is the same procedure-the only difference is that when you move the machine away-you grab the top thread and hold it so that you get some slack in it as well.
