Hi enjoyed the posts and seeing Sharon Schamber's videos. I have been using this method when I machine quilt as I do not like the back up stitch look nor the 3 stitches in the same place. I did this 3 stitches on a stained glass piece I did with black clover bias. The front looked okay since it was black, but the back sure showed the knots on the surface. Now I just leave a long thread tail at each ending place, and when I am done with the piece, I thread the tail thru a needle and do the knot and bury it in the back. It leaves such a clean look.
