    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 binding. Teacher at LQS told us to cut it 2 1/4 ". It comes out so nice!

    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.
