If I am cutting borders and binding I cut with the length of the fabric when I have that much length. If I am cutting strips for piecing I cut across the fabric. The crosswise has a smidgeon more give than the lengthwise, so I prefer it for easing patches/blocks together. If you cut your borders from the crosswise you will almost always end up needing to piece them.
