In most all videos I watch, no backstitching is suggested. I really can understand the importance, in some cases. I only wish Heather would explain her reason for doing so. If I know the reason why, then I can except that instruction. Most always you are sewing the block together and handling carefully. Just my opinion. I love the Churn Dash too. Thank you Heather.
