    I make my own, 2-1/4" strips ironed in half. On scrappy quilts I make a scrappy bindings using as many fabrics from the quilt as I can.

    Same here, cut either 2-1/4 or 2-1/2 depending on the piece.
    I do the same. I have no binding maker.

    I have always made my own I save the small pieces that are left for small projects, scrappy quilts, and lately for mug rugs, and potholders! I cut anywhere from 2" to 2 1/2inch strips sew on angle and fold in 2.

    I make my own, I cut two inch strips on the bias and I have a machine with a bias binder attachment on it and I run t he 2 inch strip throughtthe bias maker and right onto the edge of the quilt and under the needle sewing it on right away...sometimes I do have to put it on with regualr machine if the fabric is too stretchy or one that the machine doesn't seem to like

    I make bias bindings for all my quilts. I make them as I'm working on a project, roll them and stash them away. As soon as the quilting is done, I have a binding ready to sew on. I learned long ago to make the binding before I used the fabric for something else or just plain lost it.

    I make my own too. Sometimes if it is a scrappy quilt, I sew scraps together to make a large piece of fabric, then cut on the bias and sew ends together at an angle. Scrappy binding is so unique and really adds character.
