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. It's called foldover braid. You can get basic colors, but in synthetics, at most fabric stores. Places that specialize in boiled wool (for jackets) should have a range of colors, as it is used to finish the edges of the jackets. When I took a millinery class, though, we used petersham for the edges--it is similar to grosgrain ribbon, but more flexible, and is available from milliner suppliers.
