I only use bias if I am binding a curve, like oval place mats or round potholders or scalloped quilt edge. I do prefer my straight of grain binding to be folded in half (I believe this is called a French binding) then sewn on basically double, this way you have double binding on the edge of the quilt which seems to get the Most abuse.
