If I am starting where the binding will hide my start, I'll go back and forth, otherwise I always tie and bury my knots. Using a self-threading needle makes it so very simple! When I first got my longarm, I was taught to take little stitches or go back and forth, but I found that it looked crappy to me and it came apart. Tying is very quick and much more permanent for me - I have to pull really hard to remove the knot when I have to remove the stitches!
