I'm getting ready to begin my first ever machine quilting and I am really nervous! This is my first quilt and don't want to mess it up. I will be using my walking foot and doing simple straight line quilting next to the seam lines in my blocks. My question is, when I begin my stitching do I need to pull up my bobbin thread to knot and bury it later with every start and stop? Or can I backstitch at the very beginning and will my binding hide it? My quilt has borders on it. What is the best way to start and stop your straight line quilting with a walking foot? Any help would be greatly appreciated
