Thank you Kathy and TQS! I haven't used this method, but I will try it today. It looks better than what I have been doing.
Also. someone commented on the stitch. I think it looks great as a twig. I think she may be using the Bernina stitch regulator with a small zigzag, which makes the twig look like some twigs. Very creative.

Not my preferred technique, either. I like to pull the bobbin thread to the top and then take 5 to 6 stitches and start with the line I want to quilt. When I'm done, I come back and thread the tails onto a needle and bury them in the batting. Looks a lot better, especially if they are buried where you can't see them (and you would want to do that!).

Not my preferred technique. Also, my Bernina makes a much prettier stitch!
