I just use bias binding for everything. It is what I learned first, and when I have tried straight binding, I always end up with it beginning to twist (arggggg!). It is the first method I learned, and don’t remember where, is to start with a large square of fabric, fold it on the biases, and cut. I do have to join many strips, but that is just part of the process to me. I have a sit down adjustment on my ironing board so I can sit and get it all pressed at once. From what I have read here, bias binding is the most durable, and I am OK with that.
