don't ask me how i know. :roll:
Yes Patrice, you're right about the binding. It is best to do that on the straight of grain also. I have gotten by with the binding cut on the WOF and spliced it as though I am piecing a bias piece. The seam is on the bias and doesn't show. If the border is on the straight, the crosswise grain of the binding is stable enough. Does that make sense or does it "sound like I have marbles in my mouth?" :lol:
