Welcome from Missouri. I have a stitch on my machine that will backstitch in the beginning and then you hit the backstitch button at the end of the seam. I know that the stitching won't come out if you don't backstitch but I like to backstitch to be sure that it doesn't come loose.

Google Eleanor Burns, as she was probably the person who started the chain piecing. She also includes videos on her website, "Quilt in a Day". There are other videos on the web. When I lose my mind/memory, I do a web search as there is a bounty of info out there.
Welcome to this wonderful site.
