nail clippers and no burn. pull the stitch up tight and snip it close.

 

Worked in a prison for 30 years if I aint shiny every time I comment its no big deal, I just don't wave pompoms.

In that case, back stitch 2-3 stitches and cut flush with the surface, no flame needed.

 

I can't backstitch with my Cobra Class 26 - it goes sideways on me. 3 layers of veg tan, but I can spin the work 180 with the needle down and then do 2-3 stitches.

I only hand stitch. I have a machine that I have never used...other than a place to stack stuff.

Hoka Hey! Today, tomorrow, next week, what does it matter?

Also, with some heavy thread I try to bring the end of the thread up between the layers, cut neat, tuck the end down  and glue the edge, locking the thread in

If being ultra picky there's no reason why this technique can't be used when machine sewing. Just leave enough thread to put a needle on.
