NO stoop and scoop thread retrieval

1) finish your quilting
2) Leave the threads attached and pull away from your quilting by several inches
3) hook your index finger of the opposing hand around the thread that runs from the quilting area to your needle
4) WITHOUT running over your fingers with the needle .. travel back to your quilting area and the same spot you left off at ,
5) Now take one stitch and pull the needle away from you

6) You will see the bottom thread come up from the quilted area
7) You now have three threads
a) the thread you initially looked around your finger
b) the thread ( top ) that you just took the stitch with
c) the loop of bottom stitch that is accompanying the last stitch

8) grab all 3 threads making sure you have the last bottom loop and pulling it to the top. Snip all three
