I agree - I always cut my binding WOF unless I have rounded edges, scallops or striped fabric.

I love striped fabric on the bias for binding - because I would spend too much time trying to make the stripes "straight" on the edges (OK so I am a bit OCD on this). When I do a striped bias binding, I generally use the tube method.

I only do bias binding if I have curves. Otherwise, I prefer straight of grain.

Same here....I've used lots of straight grain on straight sides. Works just fine!

Only time I cut on the bias for binding is when I'm making a scalloped edge.

I only use bias for curves, ect. everthing else gets straight grain.

Y'all are missing out! lol. Even if I'm not doing curves bias binding is so much easier when mitering corners. I couldn't believe the difference.

does your quilt have straight edges? If so, your binding will be fine. you only need bias when you must go around curves. as in scalloped or angled points as in table runners and such.

Ditto, me too.
