SID strting and stopping
#1
When SID'ing, and starting or stopping on the face of the quilt where it would be visible, what do you do to secure the stitching: shorten the stitch length, 3 or 4 stitches maybe, or backstichning?
I have a pattern where it is impossible to end the stitching where it's going to be hidden, there is just no way, what should I do? I guess I could double over stitching, but I prefer not to

Thanks for the responses. To jayelee, can you figure out what the machine is doing when you use the stop option?
(I have a machine from '85 or so and the only stop option I know of is an indication we haven't paid the light bill)
