Welcome Karen. I've always heard , & it seems to be true, it's ok to cut straight for straight- straight of grain for straight edges- but cut bias binding if you'll be sewing it to curved edges such as scallops or rounded corners. This allows it to feed evenly and not pucker around those curves.

I also use double-folded binding as Vivki described. Debbie posted this link which has several 30-minute shows you can watch on different techniques. One you may find interesting is on attaching a binding... very informative.

Watch the one titled "Binding Tips from Elisa Wilson"; I think it might help you.
