Default backing for hand embroidery

You know those pre-printed white embroidery/cross stitch quilt squares? My question is this: do you back them with interfacing or cheap white fabric before you hand embroider them? The fabric on most of them is not good. (The front of my embroidery is pretty good, but my backs are a different story). And if you do, doesn't that make them hard to hand quilt? Thanks.

Oh.....and secondly, do you wash them/rinse them out by hand to remove that blue print that your embroidery didn't totally cover??.................Elizabeth
