If it's fabric that I want to use for binding - like a jelly roll of all one color - black or navy blue or red, for example -I'll pay the asking price for a jelly roll of 20 or 40 strips. They last a long time, so that's not a huge expenditure.

Hope that helps, and good luck in your new business.

Never thought of using a jelly roll for binding but will have to try it. It gives a lot more options for the binding.
