Cording for piping.
I'm looking for filler cording for piping. I usually use it for clothes. I found Piping hot binding, every place has the book, but I've only seen 2 places with refills for the cord! I don't need the book or tool, just the cord.
One place was Amazon, the other Northern. I would like to buy a whole spool.
If no one has the refill cord, and you can't find a substitute, then what good is the book if it only comes with 5 yds of cord?
I've been searching all over the web for 3 days and most of the stuff I want comes from outside the US.
OZ in particular. I can't buy anything locally. If it isn't mostly good fabric in fat quarter bundles or fleece, forget it.
I'd prefer a store that sold more than just notions. Anyone have a link?
Thanks

I compared the cord size included w/ the Piping Hot Binding kit to some on a spool at Hancock Fabrics. When it was on sale I could get it for less than what Susan Cleveland wants for a spool on her website. I just bought like 15 yards.

Well....I didn't know what cording was...so I used my husbands roll of pink skinny rope that he uses to measure
distance when setting up his bow hunting target....he has never asked me if I have seen where that went...haha
I bet a hardware store has different thicknesses of that stuff too....I'm all for improvising since we don't have a
sewing shop here!!

Does the piping hot binding use a specidal kind of cord? I've seen smaller quantities of filler cord at Joann. Home Sew has it in 10 and 50yd bundles - or maybe the 50-yd is a spool? http://www.homesew.com/pf1.html I used to buy a lot from them years ago and they were are very good mail order company!
