Since I can't quilt with this, I'm posting here I'm looking for a source for very fine mesh. It's woven, but it doesn't ravel easily so I'm guessing it's been heated to set the weave. It doesn't stretch at all, but does have some give along the bias. I've seen it used for cosmetic bags etc. I'm guessing it's nylon? It is stiff. I'm not looking for tulle or door screening. If anyone knows what I'm talking about and has the "Official Name" for this stuff so I can do a google search or anyone know a source, I would really appreciate it! Thanks, Nancy

http://www.seattlefabrics.com/mesh.html Try this site. I have ordered their "sample packs" . Then I could pick the correct one. I just ordered a stiff orange mesh to use in a hat. Caution: their postage is costly!
Try also wawak.com. Service is great. This is also the cheapest place I have found to buy Maxi Lock serger thread.

Thanks, guntherquilter. Those were the 2 sites I had found before. I was also going to order the samples to see what they are like to see if anything was similar. The only sites I found that looked like the stuff I wanted were B2B sites in China and India... Thanks again!
