d.rickman was talking about the packages of bias tape that we all had if we were garment sewers, and not talking about "seam binding" - which is thin and sometimes made of a stretchy flimsy lace. If any of you use the older rick-rac - you better wash in hot water and dry in the dryer to shrink it. I know from experience that this stuff shrinks like crazy.
