I have a new way of doing it where I wrap the thread around the needle with each stitch. This keeps them straight and makes a knot at the top of each one so they don't sag or slip or lay over. I usually use two strands of embroidery floss. Sometimes three, but usually two. I use a regular embroidery needle. Not too big, but big enough to thread it easily. I sew mine one block at a time, then put the quilt together.
