Default I do the lock stitch so my needle doesn't come unthreaded

Om a recent thread about thread for hand stitching binding, someone mention that I use good quality thread usually my Aurifil. I use one strand and do the lock stitch at the start with my needle so the needle stays threaded. Well, my usual thread is Aurifil so I'm ahead there, but what is this lock stitch at the start with the needle so it stays threaded? That's my biggest complaint about hand stitching the binding - the needle constantly coming unthreaded. Please help. Thanks.
