Today we’re going to discuss the ins-and-outs of starting and stopping your stitching. It sounds simple, and it can be, but there’s a few things every longarm quilter should know to get the stitching they like and how to avoid bamboozled bobbins.
Join a socially-distanced Johnny and Kim as they do a deep-dive on proper stitching starts, ends, proper bobbin thread techniques and even how to bury your threads for that finely-finished look on an HQ longarm quilting machine.

I have found with some shiny, slippery threads that tack works better for me than micro. I've done a couple of quilts where even a micro of 5 didn't hold and it's really disappointing to have to pull a few stitches out and try to make a knot with a short stub. I've even done some tacking on my domestic machine after the quilting because it wasn't holding. Putting it in tack has solved that for me. If the thread isn't shiny, I definitely like micro better; it doesn't show as much.
