I use a single thread as well. If the quilt is getting a lot of use, I use a 50 wt. polyester. As long as you use quality, strong thread, it shouldn't be a problem. I have found using beeswax or Thread Heaven isn't necessary and it washes out in the first wash.

:thumbup: I have done 2 bindings, sewed them buy hand.. I know it would be faster, with machine....Jean1234 :thumbup:

single thread or totally by machine sewing binding to back first, turning over to front and using a decorative stitch.

I find that Thread Heaven is good but expensive. You might want to try using an unused dryer sheet and running the thread thru it a couple of timed. It works pretty well like the Thread Heaven.

I use a single thread and ladder stitch....so far havehad no problems with bindings not holding up....
|
Single thread always.
|
I use a single thread. Haven't had any problems!
|
I use double thread and Thread Heaven so it doesn't tangle as much.
|
I use one strand of sewing thread and use a tiny blind/whip stitch to sew down the binding.
