With regards to SID, how do u normally lock the starting stitiches? I've asked this question before and some quilters have advised me to lock the stitch using very tiny stitches at the beginning, then gradually increase the stitch length to my desired. I've tried this but I notice that it's hard to control the tension when stitches are tiny. No matter how I adjust the tenstion, the bobbin thread will show on the top. I'll be using different colours for the top and bobbin threads, hence I will need to resolve this issue.
