Knit edge binding source Supplies
Wianno Girl   Intermediate CA USA Member since 11/19/04 Posts: 9	Login to reply to this post Like this post Date: 4/25/12 10:44 PM I am looking for a source for knit edge binding, in many colors if possible. I don't want woven bindings, I need something to work with knits. Many thanks ------ Cassidy

There may be pre-made knit fabric bindings, but if so, I've never seen nor heard of them. ------ I heart Panzy, Pfaff Creative Performance, the sewing machine love of my life! And Rupert (Pfaff 2023), Baby (BL Enlighten), Victor (BLCS), Ash (Bernina 350SE), Pal (Bernina 530), Kee (Bernina 750) and the Featherteen Flock! Most of all, I heart Woo (HimmyCat). Until we meet again, my beautiful little boy. I love you.

Stitch in place. Don't stretch as you sew. It comes in several colors. Click on notions at www.saf-t-pockets.com ------ "Let's make the most of this day" bluefly

Scroll down to check out 78 separate listings. The seller, hobovian, stocks many colors of 5/8" foldover elastic. Just ask and she'll send samples if you'd like them. ------ Judy

Wianno Girl   Intermediate CA USA Member since 11/19/04 Posts: 9	Login to reply to this post Like this post Date: 1/22/13 8:48 PM thank you all for the hints... I am close to the LA fabric district (2 or so hours driving) and happily Threads just had a great piece on just this area so I will be off to do some serious poking about soon. Of course, I will wear a reporter's hat for a tell-all in the near future. Cheers! ------ Cassidy
