When done with an embroidery how do you pull the top thread through to the underside to tie it off?

You thread a needle with the thread you want to pull through, pass the needle into the material slightly within the margins of the pattern and pull the thread through. You don't really have to pull the top thread through to tie off because the stitch density is high enough to lock the thread, you can clip close. If you feel the need, unpick a few stitches (don't rip them, unravel the top and bobbin threads) until you have enough length to work with, pull the top thread through the fabric with the bobbin thread ad tie them together. When you change top thread, lay a short tail of the previous color and the new thread across the next pattern section and the thread will be locked. Same idea when you change the bobbin thread
