One More Varnish Question for Anyone

In applying the varnish, should you paint it on in one direction only?

Or (as I have read elsewhere) should one apply the varnish in one direction, let that dry, and then apply the varnish in the perpendicular direction?

In practice, the application of varnish has proven to be so stressful to me that I have not dared to go back and apply the varnish in the perpendicular direction after the initial application has dried and I wonder if I would have been pleased had I tried it.
