So with my latest quilting attempt the outside boarder are straight 45 degree angels. It is possible but tiresome to pull the bobbin thread up every time. My Juki has the cutter, so I cut moved back and discovered if I held the top thread, just a little tension, while I stitch and back stitch that I do not have a messy mess of jumbled thread on the back. Haven't tried it yet with my Husqvarna.

I start with the 0 setting at the beginning and at the end of the stitch line for two stitches and then auto cut. I don't have thread build up and the stitch is locked. I never bring up the bobbin thread. I don't know how that practice even started, I can't any difference doing that. I then snip the tiny ends to nothing after I'm done quilting if I feel like it or if the thread contrasts against the fabric.
