Most definitely, your stiches will show on the back. This can be minimized by using a print for your backing and then it is more dificult to see the stitches on the back. When your stitches are to your liking, then you can use a solid color backing and they will show up and you can be really proud of your work! Often plain muslin is used on the back and the quilting lines will show up, but not the individual stitches! Hope this helps! :lol:
