If you are doing show quality quilts, you may want to bury the threads for the most inconspicuous finish.

I am a machine quilting enthusiast - home machine, not longarm - who DOES NOT want to hand tie off threads at the end of a section of stitching. By bringing up the bobbin thread, the back looks good where the stitching starts, but when I reach the end, I am not able to get as good a result. Does anyone have any suggestions on the best way to end the stitching so that the back of the quilt looks tidier? BTW - I have a Bernina machine with a stitch regulator. Thanks for the help in advance!
