bury knots or backstitch?
When you machine quilt, do you knot your threads and bury the knot or do you discreetly take a couple of stitches in place (or backstitch) to lock your stitching in place?

I do both - what the quilt is for determines which one I do.
|
Knot my threads and bury with an easy thread needle.
|
I back stitch.
|
I backstitch everything.

I knot and bury all my threads unless they are finished into the very edge of the quilt. Like I am putting a sash on a quilt and I start at the top of the sash quilting and when I get to the end, I back stitch otherwise on the rest on the body of the quilt when I am quilting.
|
Back stitch or start with very small stitches.
|
Hand stitching I bury, machine, I backstitch.
|
I backstitch. I often make it into a series of circles. I only FMQ so it fits in.
