Do any of you....
#1
double sew your seams when making your blocks? I know it would be alot of extra work but was wondering if any of you do it to reinforce seams. Would they really stay together longer by doing this?

Yes I do sometimes. I don't do every one but I do straighten seams by going over them again when I think the seam is crooked or I have dipped in a place or two.
It is stronger and can be worth doing but I don't generally do it for that reason. I do on somethings that will get a lot of wear and tear tho.
I think it is a good prevention technique if you know the item will get dragged around alot. I don't do big quits tho

when i work with non-traditional quilt fabric i will use the triple stitch on my sewing machine.
i prefer to use the triple stitch program because i just have to make one pass with the fabric instead of doing a single stitch and then having to run the fabric piece thru again.
i find that it is a much stronger stitch that prevents distortion and stretch
