I am almost finished with a special request quilt that is 36 x36 and it requires rounded corners. :unsure: I don't like working with bias binding, so I was thinking that maybe cross cut binding, which is stretchier than long straight of grain cut binding might work. Have any of you ever tried this and did it work?

To a degree it depends on how tight the curve is, It might work if it is very gentle (think large serving plate as opposed to saucer) but personally I would go with bias.

Betty Jo, I swear by Sharon Schamber's binding methods, although I haven't done a bias binding in eons. She has a detailed curved binding video on YouTube. Starch and Elmer's School Glue are the tools she uses to tame the bias. Hope this helps!

Personally, I wouldn't trust crossgrain fabric to have enough give to turn a nice curve...

I have to say...cross-cut binding is all i ever make for straight bindings
as I seldom have yardage enough for SOG. But Always bias bind for any curve !!!
I'm with Connie...Not a nice turn on a curved edge otherwise !

Thanks for the link. I too use her methods for straight grain bindings. I guess I'll just have to bite the bullet and do a bias binding. The corners are probably too tight to use the crossgrain. :lol:

I agree, definitely bias binding. Great to meet you in Houston!!
