Just once with Aurifil thread. Aurifil is strong but thin so it reduces the amount of fabric needed when the seams if opened up and pressed. If you sew twice you will lose almost 1/16 of an inch on your piecing so calculate accordingly.

I've been doing that once for years on fabric.. sails and chutes 2 x's. Then fold and top stitch = 3 x's upholstery (auto) once .
Then a years years ago a friend, who had worked for levis said to do every thing twice . most the quilting I've done in the last few yrs has been a heavier fabric, so twice on that.
this week I doing a light cotton, was doing twice, untill a seam ripped out in a mid run, because of there being so many holes in such a close area, Errrrrrrrrr
so I'm back to once but when I fold over and iron in spot I see the thread
Thanks , I'm going to stay with one pass.
