Some people do it by machine, making 2 or 3 small stitches at the beginning and end, and the complaint about that method is that it leaves noticeable "bumps". If your method has been holding up for you, I think it should be fine. I would imagine it is not used more frequently because of the fear that single securing stitch will come out.
