Yes, for it to look right the jump stitches should be cut on the back as well. Hand quilting differs. Regular hand quilting usually ranges from 10 to 15 stitches per inch. The stitching on the example I showed earlier are larger stitches, more decorative, I'm guessing maybe 6 to 8 per inch. The quilting done with pearl cotton is the longer stitch length.
