    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 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.
