Iv always gone from front to back, might have to try it the other way to see if I like it, learning something new every day which is great

I do it like supergma-sew by machine on the front and hand stitch on the back.

Me too, that's the way I do it.

I machine stitch to the front and turn it to the back and hand stitch.

me too. I never thought of a decorative stitch. Next time!

I do decorative stitches on baby quilts or quilts for children. As long as you don't use a satin stitch type stitch you won't have any problems. When I got my new Janome I did a sampler of stitches I'd like to use for quilts. It does take a little longer, but if you are not perfertly straight it's hard to see the mistakes. I like to use verigated thread too.

I machine stitch it to the front then hand stitch it to the back. I was taught this way in the 80s and never thought to change it. guess I am a creature of habit. :)

I machine stitch to the front and turn to the back and hand stitch. Comes out looking very nice.

Ditto

This is what I do, too.
