I used to cut all my binding on the bias because "they" say your supposed to so it lasts longer. I now perfer to cut it on the straight of grain because it looks better(straighter) and is MUCH easier to cut and apply. I see no reason why you couldn't cut it on your AccuGo. I do still join my pieces on the 45 for less bulk when hand sewing the edge down.

I cut on the straight. It's easier and looks fine to me.
I know and understand that bias is good because if the binding wears thin the threads won't fray in the same way. If & when it wears out that much, I'll rebind.
