I only make bias binding for several reasons. I like how it is very durable, and versatile. I often have leftover strips after binding a quilt, which I save, and can use it for other projects if I need it. So I might have a quilt with straight sides and use the leftover binding to trim a baby bib with curves. This is my "go to" tutorial, from The Quilt Patch, because she makes it so simple to follow: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ws7dyihdJpQ
