Anyone use satin binding on quilts?

I've used them on sewing projects, but never on a quilt. When you marry two different types of fabrics together, they will not stay together as nicely as if you use the same type throughout.
The blankets with the satin binding (you can find it at Joann) that I've made tended to have issues the more they were loved & washed with stitches coming loose or pulling on the satin fabric until it started to fray. The instructions I used called for attaching it with a machine zig-zag stitch.

I used it on my son's baby quilts which were made of flannel. It was a long time ago and when I realized how attached he got to the blanket I made him 3 more just the same, I am sure there is at least one hiding somewhere in the mother has to keep drawer. As I recall I didn't add it as a binding, just sewed around the edges of it. He liked it!
