Starting and stopping quilting

How would you all suggest starting and stopping using MonoPoly thread? I've never used this thread before and am not sure what to do.

I leave long tails that are knotted on the backside of the quilt and then buried between the layers

I was concerned that with the MonoPoly not being cotton, the knots would slip. I would appreciate all comments!

Frances, I understand where you are coming from with this, but I think they are a lot less likely to slip with long tail buried as Nrona suggests. Good luck!
