Granted, this is another of my brainstorms :D
I'm just using plain black cotton fabric. If you cut ready made tape lengthwise, your problem would be you'd only have a fold on one side. I can really vouch for the gadget, it works really well; The advantage as well is you can use any colour fabric and your not tied to the ready made colour range. It also will work out cheaper in the long run! :D
