3M Corban tape... my daughter and I found we can use this tape as thimbles, it is flexible so give a little more mobility in quilting seems I've seen it in some of the quilting catalogs too of late.
Instead of making the bunch of very small stitches at the beginning, just start with your normal quilting stitch length, leaving a tail. When finished quilting, make the quilter's knot just as in hand quilting, burying the knot and the thread in the batting. Works beautifully and looks ever so much nicer.
