    Good luck with your treatment. So sorry about your parents.

    I only do bias for curved binding. I know a lot of people use it routinely because of the wearing/fraying.

    I only use bias binding on curves so it will lay flat. I used the double-fold French binding the rest of the time and my bindings wear really well.

    Bias binding can look really interesting if it is a strip it will create an interesting effect on the edge. I mostly use straight binding and bias on the curves. happy sewing and Sorry about your parents .

    I use bias binding for all my bindings; straight or curved. I just like how it hugs up to the edge of the quilt. I would always have bumps and wrinkles when I used straight of grain binding. I made a baby quilt with rounded corners and made my bias binding for the first time. I really liked the way the binding turned out so I've not used SOG binding again. It is definately a matter of preference!!!

    I do straight binding on straight edges. So far all of my quilts have been square or rectangular.

    I never use bias bindings unless I have curves or odd angles.
