Those of you who hand quilt. Do you use a single strand of thread or double?

I'm quilting again after about 10 years. I used invisible thread before, single strand. Now, surprise surprise, I'm 10 years older and can't see the invisible thread. No joke required at this point, lol.

So I'm using Coats & Clarke cotton. Just regular, visible thread. One strand seems so fragile. I want to use 2 strands. But I don't want it bunched up.

I know there are no quilt police and I should do as I wish, but I will want to make these for gifts and I want them to look as nice as possible.

I guess my question is: Is 1 strand strong enough?
