Bring the need up through the machine needle hole, catch the thread then back through the same hole, then pull the needle through the loop of thread on the other end of the needle two or three times. You'll have a very small knot that's barely visable on the backside.
I always do two stitches on points. That is a great idea for fixing the boo boo!
