Back to the sewing machine:
Although the machine has a reversing mechanism, don't assume this is the best way of locking off a run.
Often, if you are sewing heavy material, the reverse lever causes something to snag, which messes up the last bit of run you have just done.
You will know this, having practiced.
Not always practical, but if you have the space to spin the work 180 degrees and sew forwards a little, back the way you came, to finish off.
Don't neglect hand sewing, with the right kit.
