I'm looking for a woven, single fold tape that's used to trim the edges of felt hats. It's not cotton bias tape. It has a weave more like a shoelace, but it's flat. (At least on the hat I have). I want to buy some to finish a hat, but I don't know what it's called. Can anyone help me?

No, it's not cotton tape or twill tape. It has a much coarser, 'braided' weave to it, which allows it to conform to the curve of the hat brim _like_ a bias tape. Cotton twill tape doesn't flex like this.
You might be thinking of foldover braid. There's some here: http://www.sewbizfabrics.com/FO3.shtml and an enlargement here: http://www.sewbizfabrics.com/images/F-21.jpg -Helen/Aidan _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list [email protected] http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume
