I agree, to an extent. But when I make bias binding, I fold a yard in half so that I have a large triangle, then cut in half on the fold. Then, using tailor's chalk or a soapstone marker to mark, I measure the width of the binding I want for a project and mark the cutting line, using the cutting mat and ruler to cut the binding strips, then join the strips. I join the strips together using this method (See: The Ultimate Quilt Binding Tutorial MSQC). This works wonderfully for either type of binding. Just remember, binding cut on the bias will stretch very easily. I read somewhere (don't remember where, but it was probably on this forum, that bias binding is more durable, but I really do not know from experience whether that is the case. Check out the tutorial, it's super! Jeanette

Edit: I have no financial or business connection whatsoever with MSOC. I just found this method works very well for me. It might not work as well for everyone, but it worked for me.
