either way is correct.
I agree! I usually do not cut either borders or binding on the length of fabric since I think it takes too much fabric. But It can be done that way. I ALWAYS get a little extra fabric just to be on the safe side so put the extra 1/2 yd on your stash. Also there are book and info on line that will tell you how much fabric to buy for tops, border, bindings etc. Next time go prepared!!!
