Tried bias binding vs straight grain on a curved hem and wow what a difference

I was making a circle skirt last week and kept getting those puckered bits along the hemline (you know the ones). My normal straight grain binding just wouldn't lay flat no matter how much I pressed it. A lady at my local fabric store in Portland told me to try bias-cut binding instead. It curved around that hem like butter, no puckers at all. Has anyone else had that lightbulb moment with bias tape?

Yo but did you try prewashing the bias tape first?

Did you actually test both on the same fabric type though?
