Honestly I've only found it necessary when I'm working on a quilt with a scalloped binding. Otherwise I square up first, then apply binding. I've also found that if I do NOT press the binding in half lengthwise before sewing it on, it's always nice and full, regardless of whether it's a narrow 2" or 2 1/4" or a wide 3" binding.
