i've just about given up on that one. :lol:

unless it's for a paying customer, or for a super-dooper-extra-special gift i don't worry about it.

when it matters, i don't try to backstitch. i leave nice long tails of thread. i pull the front thread to the back and then use a needle to pull both under the back fabric and through the batting.
Thanks for that hint, don't guess I'll be having to worry about it at all then!! LOL
