   Thanks for the suggestion, Palady. I found a number of these rolls at a thrift store. Obviously SOMEBODY makes them. Again, I don't really know what to call the stuff...it's not bias binding...just strips of fine cotton or poly knit on a large roll. It is so nice to work with. All I find on the internet is cotton or satin bias binding. Will definitely take your suggestion and try Wright's.

   It the rolls may be some sewing industry.  With the additional info as to how you came by the strips, I'd figure "someone" who worked in a sewing factory was able to get the rolls & took them for a now unknown reason.   Maybe sewing blankets?  When most of the industry moved out of the USA, it figures a significant amount of inventory was to be had.  The original "owner," or family member may have downsized the all to the second hand sale store.

   I did email Wright's and am awaiting a reply. You are probably right about them being from someone's stash from a factory or somethin. I would really like to find some place to get more. I know I can cut my own but...just easier if they are already cut. Thanks for your help.

   I used to work at Janzens Fabric Outlet in Aloha Oregon. There was also
   one in Portland, Oregon Many times large rolls of edgeings, elastics, pipings, etc. came through the store. I would contact Janzens, if they
   still exist.

   Thanks for the suggestion, sewingbudi. I will try Janzen's. I know I can cut my own but if it is available precut...so much more time to do actual sewing!
