If you want to save thread, you can place the stitches 'á la Surface Stitch'. This way, the back will be thin, smooth and tangle-free.
Stitch it according to the instructions I posted last Sunday, and you will get a sturdy piece, suitable for upholstery. The disadvantage, though, is that you have to use a lot of thread.
