You can make binding out of all kinds of fabric. I do mostly straight of grain binding unless binding curves. Cut yourself a little sample and try folding it into double fold binding. Does it fold well…is it too thick/thin? Are you going to sew it by machine, flip to the back and machine stitch with a decorative stitch? Will a hand needle go through to stitch the binding to the back by hand? You will need to do a little detective work before committing to it.
