Gold Clover Quick Bias
I bought the pattern for the Poinsettia Table Runner from "Christmas Traditions in Stained Glass," and am so excited about making it. But the pattern calls for 19 yards of Gold Clover Quick Bias. Lowest price I've found for 19 yards would be two spools at $15/ea. $30 is a lot to pay for a table runner embellishment. Can you give me some suggestions of a great looking option for lower price? Thanks!

You can make your own bias tape in regular fabric but it will be hard in metalics. It is pricy but pretty. You could couch a gold yarn where the bias tape goes. Does anyone make a nice size gold yarn though? How about zig zagging narrow gold ribbon instead? It would depend on if the ribbon could bend like bias.

The black narrow bias makes a great sub for the gold. The gold and silver metalics bias are pricey. I buy a roll when I have a 50% coupon for JoAnn's or Hobby Lobby and can't find anything else to use the coupon with.
