i dont understand why u have to put to the back? When my sister told me its for the quilt police,(a judged quilt in a show has to be done this way), I just laughed. I do mine by hand the finial part. But the first part I do that backwards 2 it makes since to me? She told me ppl get a toe hung in binding, even more reason to put it to the front? It just seems right to me, I want to be able to use the quilts- and a snaged thread is not what I want to happen..
I do tie off about every 10 inches or so, they wont get a toe hung in my quilts the hand sewing will be on the front side..
