Default Hand stitching binding or sashing question

Hi. I'm going to be using a quilt as you go method on my current project. I'm wondering what type of thread you all suggest for stitching the binding or sashing on. Is the thread not placed on the needle doubled? I mean is the needle threaded with a single strand and knot, with the other end of the tread loose?
When using QAYG do you find the horizontal, longer, sashing difficult to sew on? I'm thinking it might be awkward to wrestle with to keep it on the row of blocks...
Also, I'd like to thank everyone who encouraged me to stick with paper piecing, I really enjoy it! I'll post pictures when I'm done.
Thanks
