Here is a great binding technique, you piece your binding and it ends up looking like piping! I have got to try this method!! It may be just the thing you need since you are shy on fabric.

Here is the link for the two color (flange) binding. http://www.quiltingboard.com/t-77821-1.htm
I am also of the school of thought to always double my binding. The only time I would even consider a single binding is maybe a wallhanging. Something that is unlikely to be washed and toted around.

Double binding...
but if you find that any binding is not wearing well ... add another one over it. At least that is what I plan to do as my grand kids wear out the edges of their beloved quilts.
has anyone done that?

For quilts that are going to be used, I would only use double binding. For quilts that will hang on a wall, single binding is fine to use. And, for a quilt that is going to be used a lot it really is better to use bias binding, as it wears much better than a straight cut binding/
