The Dreaded Kitchener Stitch

I tried it once, on my first practice sock. Not a pretty sight. Then I discovered the three needle bind off and that's how I finish all of my sock toes. I can't feel the seam at all, so I don't bother with Kitchener. If someone else who I am l knitting socks for is bothered by the seam, I will do a star toe instead. Anything to avoid the dreaded Kitchener.
