Glad I could help! I've seen the Wissner in a thicker weight
(probably for hoops rather than boning) which I can't imagine sewing
through. If the standard weight can be sewn, all the better!
I would suggest a nice cotton or linen tape for binding rather than
silk. Silk has poor abrasion resistance, and the edges of stays will
get a lot of wear.
