LibQuilters
I cam across this video today from Red Barn Studio that clearly demonstrates a clever method to accomplish this.

How to Bury Short Ends of ThreadsI prefer to bury the ends of threads when machine quilting. Sometimes they are too short to handle with a needle alone.

That was clever, Debbie! Thanks for posting it!
Yeah, I thought so too. I hassle with short ends all the time.
Am an embroidery enthusiast and teacher of same. Have used this method of handling short ends for years.No wasting silk embroidery threads!!!!!!!! Am not quite a quilter just yet–art quilts mainly.
Thanks for your comment. I have not heard of someone coming in the backdoor before….saying you are not a quilter yet. That is a new one. Most people struggle to break away from quilting in hopes of becoming an art (studio) quilter. You are in a good place. I wish I new more about using embroidery thread. I am new at hand work, at least in the slow stitch way. I hope to develop a style of stitching rather than traditional embroidery (decorative) stitches.
Thanks for this. Lyric Kinard first passed the technique from Robbie Joy Eklow along to me. I forgot it and then after I ran the end of a handicap needle into my palm at 11:00 at night and couldn’t get it out (had to go to the emergency room)I tried so hard to remember what Lyric told me. I couldn’t, but here it is!
I like to share tips and am grateful to the originator who ever that is!
Ouch! What an awful injury, you really jammed it in deep. Thanks for commenting.
