I almost always end a leaf tally with a half-stitch (CT, occasionally TC if 'C' is required to start the next bit). The hs acts as a lock. I'm not bad at leaf tallies now, on the cookie pillow, and I can even 'leave' the pillow with the 'leaf' half-finished, and resume some other time without the leaf looking ragged (good, eh?)
If it is a square tally, I put an extra twist on each pair, having decided at which side the weaver bobbin should end, and support one or both pairs if the tally looks tentative on its own, until anchored by the next stitches. I have not masterd the making of tallies on the bolster pillow with the holding of the bobbins palms up to make a leaf.
