You don't have to reverse stitch to lock stitches, just reduce the stitch lengh to tiny stitches. Mine basically stitches in place when I do this.

LOL! And my second issue is, I've been watching several You Tube videos on binding, and some bind from the front and some from the back...I want to machine bind mine on both sides....which do you think is best? Thanks to all who can offer a little expertise! Chris
