binding, single or double thread?
#52
Single, blind stitch, spaced about 1/4 " apart. Never had a problem but not a bad idea to bury a knot ever so often if the quilt is going to be heavily used. I love binding. It is a relaxing and enjoyable end to the entire quilting experience.

Oh, my! To each his own! I am currently using a 50# 3-ply cotton thread called Masterpiece. It's what I use to piece the quilt. It's very strong because its a 3-ply, 50# thread, and it's quite thin, as opposed to bulky. That makes it easier to hide. I use a single thread, and tiny, even stitches, which I take great care to hide as much as possible. Fussy, perhaps, but I do enjoy the handwork -- sometimes!

Think about this------------a quilt is millions of threads----------each rubbing against its two neighbors. Maybe we shouldn't use fabric so we can prevent the rubbing. (her advise makes no sense!)
