I tried Hobby Lobby, Joann's, and Hancocks to find just some plain black and some plain white cotton and all they had was this stuff that's only got one selvage edge. The other edge has been cut and then glued! Yes, some type of glue has been used to seal it and in places it's 1 1/4" wide. Very shabby quality. But then again, I don't look as good as I used to either.
