machine quilting - do you knot or not?
I am fairly new to machine quilting and I am only straight lining quilting, no FMQ (at least not yet) I am wondering.... when you all machine quilt do you do the lock stitching or back stitch? I have noticed on every video that I watch no one lockstitches or back stitches. When I do lock stitch or back stitch it is very unsightly on the back side. What do you guys do?

If I'm doing SID or straight lines, I set my machine to a tiny stitch of about 0.5 and do 10-12 stitches before changing to a regular stitch. Same at the end of my lines, then use an easy-thread needle to bury the ends.
For FMQ I do 3 stitches in the same place at beginning and end of stitching and bury tails. Happy quilting
