Me too. In fact I believe it is Jane Sassaman whom I had class from, or could be another well known instructor(been too long ago), who endorses using straight single fold binding for quilts. Said all the antique quilts mostly had single fold binding and still look fine today. Less bulk and you have flat corners. I use crosswise or lengthwise whatever is easier to cut at the time. Really all the old fashioned quilt must dos are getting rather silly with the better quality fabric and thread we have today.
