Some people say that bias binding wears better than straight grain binding.
:shock: Well, I'm certainly going to have to try out a straight grain binding on my grandson's quilt then! I've got a few strips of the border fabric left but it was going to be a major pain to cut it in diagnal strips and sew together four hundred little strips to get my binding. This way I can simply cut long, straight lines. That sounds much easier!! I think this will be the first straight edge binding I've ever made so this should be interesting. It's good to know that after 18 years I'm still learning new things! :lol:
