When cutting strips for binding, do you cut it WOF?

QuiltnNan

that's what i usually do, but may use the length if that's what i have

sewingsuz

Yes that is what I do. If I have fabric left and it is maybe long pieces of LOF I would do it that way also.

Usually I do, but sometimes I will use the leftover fabric after I trim my quilt and that can end up being the length as well.

I always do unless i'm cutting bias

I usually cut WOF and join them on at the 45 angle. If I am doing binding on a scalloped edge I cut binding strips on the bias.

Neesie

I cut WOF unless I'm making borders from the same fabric. In that case, I'll cut the borders LOF (for less piecing) and then cut my binding the same way.

Just depends if I've got trimmings from my sandwich that are the length I use that, sometimes I use wof, if I have scallops or curves I cut on the bias.

Yes, but if it's a utility quilt I get a bit 'creative' (I have even used polo shirts for binding on those).

If I have the option I do. The WOF has just a bit of give making it easier to work with.
