I often do. More out of habit than anything.

Yes, I backstitch. Habit, I guess as I sewed clothes for many years before quilting. I even backstitch when I chain stitch!

Sometimes out of habit. I do other kinds of sewing also.

I shorten my stitches just a bit when chain piecing, that way the ends stay put through pressing and final assembly.

Only for difficult blocks that might come loose. Diane C.

I always backstitch when piecing my blocks.
At the start and end of each seam.
I don't have to worry about any seams coming apart.

Ditto for me, for the same reason. Except she says "Very rarely" and I'd say "NEVER"!

I backstitch as well. Had too many seams start to come apart on me when I first started quilting. Now it just seems to be a habit.
