How to end your stitching
As you approach the spot when you started your couching
stitches, pull the knotted end of the Dazzle threads to the side
and keep stitching until you have just covered the stitches at the
beginning.
Use a short straight stitch to go forwards and back a couple times
to secure the thread ends and then remove the table runner from
the machine. Using small, sharp scissors trim away the excess
threads from the top and back of the table runner. Repeat this
same process to secure the other two appliqué shapes.
