I don't do stab stitching - it's a kind of a rocking stitch but I pull out the needle after I put only one stich on it.
At the beginning of a new thread I don't pull the complete thread through the fabric, I leave a big "loop". After that I do several stitches and pull through the complete length of the thread. This is a little bit quicker and it prevents the thread of fraying too much.
