With one of these machines the best and simplest way to secure beginning and ending stitches is to knot.
First, run a few beginning stitches then reach behind the needle, take the bobbin and upper thread tails hanging from the beginning and tie two overhand knots.
When finished stitching, do the same thing at the end - simply tie two overhand knots.
Be sure not to pull the knots so tightly the fabric develops a pucker (will look like the beginning of a gather). You want to pull the knots tight enough that the knots rest right at the edge of the fabric, only.
