I once did a binding with scraps of fabric....some were only inches in size. Had no idea which way the grain went, didn't care. It worked beautifully......I don't think you will have any problem.

As do I. No sense putting in those extra seams!!

I've cut many bindings lengthwise, have never had it cause a problem. Never heard of anyone having a problem with it cut that way. The good part ( to me) is much fewer joins ( weak / bulky spots) I use bias binding on curves/ scallop edges and straight grain the rest of the time.

If it really bothers you, sew a new binding over the old. I did that with a group quilt, the binding was awful. I made a new one and covered it. I didn't see the need to take off the first binding, just cover it with new.
