Me 3!! Always learned it as Reverse Lever. I do what Madder and others do on machiens without it....hold on tight and sew 3 or 4 tiny stitches. Works great when needed. When piecing quilts it is not needed. Joe, I know another quilter who insists on backstitching on her piecing, and I just cannot figure out why she does it. If you use small enough stitches it will not pull apart during piecing.
