No to both. If your tensions are well balanced, the seam is 1/4" (no slippage underneath) and the stitches are 10-12 to an inch, that seam will hold unless the fabric is too coarse, but most people don't quilt with loosely woven fabric.

I worry when I see a quilt pictured that has the tension off so the thread shows from the right side.
