I bought them and really like them. As far as I can tell, they are half-round trim (lots of hardware stores have quarter-round trim; it can be harder to find half-round) covered with muslin that is serged on one long end and the two short ends. (I think it would be hard to do this on my home serger; the serging is very close to the wood and very precise.) I don't think there is any batting underneath the muslin, but maybe an extra layer of muslin or flannel as the muslin is not see-through. Someone posted that they didn't even bother to cover their half-round stick with cloth and it still worked great. The only thing is that wood contains acid, so covering the wood with cloth would be more protective of your strips.
Thank you!
