Ditto! It's much easier and takes less time to cut bindings cross grain, and while I think it sounds theoretically probable that bias bindings are stronger, I haven't seen sufficient proof of it to make me take the extra fabric/trouble to make my bindings on the bias.
ROFL. This is what I told Dreamer2009 on the phone. I never even thought about it. Now I have some food for thought from everyone. Guess like my old saying "if it's not broke, don't fix it" and I've never had problems. (Snicker) :lol:
