I think what people are calling double binding in this topic is actually French Fold binding. French Fold binding is folded in half and both raw edges sewn to the quilt edge.
Single fold binding is a single layer fabric, ironed in half with one seam allowance folded to the center. Double fold binding is ironed in half with both seam allowances folded to the center. Even though it's called double fold it's still only one layer of fabric thick.
