I prefer bias binding but do it the old fashioned fold a length of fabric folded on the bias, press, cut and piece the strips together. Why do I like it? Because that is the way I was first taught.
Oh, sure from time to time I do not have enough yardage to make bias and then straight of grain will be used rather than buy more fabric. I have a preference but I am not a fanatic. Tee-Hee-Hee.
