Silly Question ( Hand stitching)
#2
The method I have seen in most books is a whip-stitch but I prefer a running stitch that matches or contrasts with the fabric. I poke the needle thru the top binding and the batting but not the back and then back up. It doesn't show on the back. That's just me. I know many prefer the whip-stitch.
Here is the whip-stitch:

I prefer a blindstitch. I do not like my thread to show at all on the back. Here is a video to show you how.

Blind stitch here, too. You could try out several stitches on a sample joining two pieces of scrap together to see which you like best for your own quilts. Some of the other stitches used are ladder stitch, slip stitch, catch stitch and hem stitch.
