I think you and I went to the same binding school! I have always preferred using folded bias bindings on all my quilts. I think I get a stronger binding, whereas I have seen frayed edges on straight of grain bindings after several years of use and washings. And bias is easier for me to sew as well. They mold around the edges easily.
