Double fold is always better, it will waer a lot longer. Who wants to have to replace the binding down the road?
Double binding just looke better and you can also always sew two strips tig to make the binding wide enuf or make a scrappy binding. Or I would get more fabric to finishe it.

I have a quilt for my mom but I only have enough for a single binding..will it withstand less than normal wear??

Do a double sided binding. (Two different fabrics). The front binding will be what you want on the front and the back will (can) match the backing. I love this method.

I always use folded binding. The edges get a lot of wear no matter who uses the quilt.

I only use double binding, as well.

Yes, I have seen binding done in that manner. It is neat to match both the front and the back of the quilt.

Double fold is much better and will last longer.

Always use double binding on quilts for beds. Wall quilts and table runners are okay with single binding since they don't get so much wear. Usually make my own and save the leftovers for charity quilts.
