When machine quilting, do I need to backstitch at the beginning and end of each line?
I was told to start with little tiny stitches (change the stitch length to almost 1) take a few stitches, stop, then set the stitch length to however big you want to use, I machine quilt with my stitch length around 2.
I don't backstitch because the few times that I did on a quilt top, the back didn't look very nice but I can backstitch just fine when sewing 2 pieces together, so it's not the machine
