How To Knot ➰ Threads on a Longarm Quilting Machine and Domestic Home Quilting Machines

Thought this might help both longarm machine quilters and domestic home machine quilters knot their threads while machine quilting.

Changing thread or broken threads and when you run out of bobbin thread while quilting can be frustrating. So to anchor the end of the broken thread use this technique of 5-6 little stitches in a row.

Pull the bobbin thread to the top. Then hop over each individual thread in the fabric.
That way there will be no rat's nests on the back.

Stitch right on top of the last 5-6 stitches. I usually clean up the broken end by clipping off any exposed threads before I stitch over the broken bitter end. It makes it a lot cleaner. Plus you can always use Fray Check by Dritz to secure the snipped threads.

This is a great way to sign your quilts and not actually have to write your name another's quilt.
My machine quilting customers love this and play I spy with the little logo with their friends when showing off their quilt.

I hope you consider designing your own little symbol when you are at your home machine or your longarm quilting machine

It is easy to tuck a little free motion anywhere in the quilt. Hide it in a border, inside a feather or leaf. Where you have room put that little symbol / logo somewhere in the quilt

My friend Dell a professional longarm machine quilter made a kitty cat out of the letter D it was adorable. Try it for yourself.  Yours in the love of quilting, Sally Terry :)
