I've seen the pictures of ladder stiitches, but just can't figure it out.

Mine last with single thread. I use handquilting thread to sew it down with.

I use a single strand and the ladder stitch.

single for me.

I use single handquilting thread and I knot at each spot. This way, if one thread comes apart, it will not unravel the binding completely.

I have no idea what a ladder stitch is...

Here's a pretty good tutorial I found online that shows the method for ladder stitch.
