I make my binding the width of the fabric, not on the bias. I have never had luck with bias stuff.
|
I've been told the only time you need to cut it on the bias is if you are doing curves.
|
I cut mine on the WOF. I have a friend who cuts hers on the length of fabric and says that she NEVER has a problem with wavy binding.
|
I also use WOF for my bindings. I tried bias one time on a baby quilt and didn't like the number of seams it added.
|
I put my binding on yesterday & used the glue basting method. I had no puckering. I set the glue with the iron.I'm quite pleased. Here's a link to the thread that I learned from.

I do both it just depends on how I feel at the time. Have never had bias pucker. Was it on a true 45 angle? Was it puckering all along the binding, or just one section. Do you use a walking foot? Hmm I'd like to know why it would pucker too.

I did try for the first time to cut the binding WOF and pressed it first and it did come out wonderful. It was a long table runner with not curved edges. Thank you all for the information.

I only cut on the bias when there are alot of curves to deal with
|
I always make my own bias binding. I cut 2 1/2", seam on the diagonal, fold in half, press, sew to the front and hand stitch to the back. I sew to the front using my walking foot and am very careful not to pull on it while stitching just let my machine feed it. It's funny, but to me I think the bias binding is very forgiving when I am hand stitching. I have never had a pucker.
