I'm siting here and sewing on my quilt binding.I use double thread and i put thread conditioner on,i take 3 or 4 stitches and pull threw.Does any one else do that when sewing on your binding?

I do the same, except I use a single thread

I do too but with a single thread.

I want to try double to see if it will hold up better.

What is thread conditioner?

I use single thread and what I think is called a blind stitch, so it is hidden and strong but I can't take more than one stitch at a time.

i use a single thread and a blind stitch....it goes quite fast- i can stitch a queen binding in a couple hours.

I do with a single thread. I start out taking one careful stitch at a time, perfectly spaced and the same size. After a little while I start taking several at a time, not evenly spaced at all, and not all the same size.

I use a single thread and very small stitches. I'm very slow at it as well. I hate binding but boy oh boy am I glad when it's done.
