I always use double thread for hand binding, which is a specialty of mine.

I use hand quilting thread for bindings.

I always use a single strand and it's held up fine in all of the baby quilts I've made so far. The two oldest are 10 and 11 and their baby quilts are still in great shape and they drag them around and still use them as lap quilts now.

I use double of the same thread I use for everything else....seems to work well for me.

I use double when handstitching a binding. Seems to work well for me.

Me too, and every six or seven inches, I knot the thread. I don't start again, just a knot to secure the stitches, so if it pulls out along the way...it won't pull out too far.

For a baby quilt or charity quilt I will use a decorative stitch on my sewing machine. It can hold up to the washing better.
