What Are Leaders And Enders In Quilting

"What are leaders and enders in quilting? If this is a new term for you, we will help take the mystery out as we explain what leaders and enders are and how to use them in quilting. In a nutshell, leaders and enders are just a little piece of scrap fabric that you feed under the presser foot before and after starting your sewing project. A great way to turn your scrap piece of fabric into something useful. Less wasted thread. Normally, I must pull the thread out to remove the piece I was sewing and cut off the thread. Then when starting the next sewing pieces, I had to pull the thread out and hold it again."
