I make my own binding. Ihave bought it and it is ok but there is nothing like having a strong finish and that is the binding.

I most definitely make my own, for several reasons. When french (double) folded it is strong and durable. I can get the perfect color. I can make it whatever width I want to match the quilt style.

Enlightening thread. I never would have thought to buy it...

I make my own, usually from one of the fabrics I used in the quilt.

I make my own. I like the contrast or the complement from my own.

Same here, cut either 2-1/4 or 2-1/2 depending on the piece.
Me, too.

Me too. Pick just the right color for the quilt or craft project. I haven't purchased bias tape in years.
