Default Least raveling material

I'm having trouble finding material that doesn't ravel too much. I like using 1" to 1 1/2" unfinished strips for sashing and it seems like I'm losing too much due to raveling. What brand of material would you suggest using?

​Batiks ravel the least due to their tighter weave. They are great for raw edge appliqué too.

I have found that batiks don't always work well with fusible products.

maybe cut a little bigger and trim down.

Try starching the fabrics before cutting
