i back stitch most of my seams. i have learned to do about 5 stitches. on my machine that prevents complications at the end there (when i remove fabric from the machine i have to be mindful of pulling the threads, which can bunch my seam. that's not so worrisome when it's back stitched.)
sometimes it does cause problems in that it can make your seams thick/bumpy. and it's hell on points.
