So, I'll explain what I do. I knot the thread with a quilter's knot. I find where I want the needle to come up and go down as far as the needle will let me. I then go into that spot and out where I want the needle and therefore the first stitch. I tug on the knot until it disappears between the layers of fabric and batting. If this is what you mean; then yes, I bury my knots. I am curious about this self threading needle. Don't know this! Can't wait to see your finished quilt!Coffeebean's Dailieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05683019987532785840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37018101.post-6250433417474919942012-06-10T00:08:58.330-05:002012-06-10T00:08:58.330-05:00I'd love to know how to do that.

I do a few "back stitches" at the beginning and end of each "run", and call it good. I also have a pair of curved scissors so that I can clip the thread right at the fabric. I use all of my quilts, and can honestly say that I've never had anyone, myself included ever look at the stitching close enough to matter once they're done.Beckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14436825220887971278noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37018101.post-17963876803517961122012-06-09T10:34:59.250-05:002012-06-09T10:34:59.250-05:00Amanda Jean, I do not bury my knots but it is on m...Amanda Jean, I do not bury my knots but it is on my list to try if only on the art quilts. I like the idea of using self-threading needles for that. As for the glue gun, somebody tipped me about the low-heat glue guns and I love them! Now I can let my 12-year-old use it on his shells, too.
