Backstitching Darts

Let's be honest. How many of us have wanted to just backstitch at the point of the dart even though the instructions tell us not to? I'm guilty. There is nothing wrong with a tiny bit of backstitching at the tip. The only reason they say not to is because it adds unnecessary bulk at the tip. But if it's just a tiny bit of backstitching, the amount of bulk added is very unnoticeable (maybe an OCD seamstress will notice). Just as long as you start sewing from the wide end and go to the point, a bit of backstitching is fine. It's either that, or just tie it off at the tip. Your choice. ^-^
