I find it difficult to remember to KNOT when using the automatic thread cutter on my sewing machine when working on a quilting project I intend to enter into a quilt show. It has become a habit to hit that button when piecing but for quilting a detailed project with lots of stops, starts and thread color changes it is an absolute no-no. Actually, for any machine quilting you do you should always tie and bury your thread ends.
But how many of you quilters actually do?
I need to know if there is a special trick when using my machine with an automatic cutter or do I just have to train myself to STOP, raise the needle and pull at least six inches before trimming?
I'd love your input on how you deal with this situation.
