I have been locking each row..

I have read somewhere in one of the other posts that it is not necessary to lock you stiches when joing two blocks as it wil get reinforced when joined with other rows. Is this true? I have been locking both beginning and end

You don't need to backstitch if another seam will cross over it. One instructor, however, suggested that on the blocks that are on the outside edges, it is good to backstitch if the top will set awhile and be handled prior to sandwiching and quilting...keeps the outside seams secure.
