Help Please - Fabric Trim

Post by zepher11 » Wed Jan 25, 2017 8:04 pm

Hello,

I am trying to locate some trim/edging like in the photo below. It folds over and is sewn on around the edges.

Anyone have a name of what the trim is called? Or better yet, a source? I've searched, but can't seem to find any.

Any help is appreciated:

Thank you for all of the responses. I think "binding tape" is the term. I don't think I would have ever thought of that. Also, great idea about contacting OD cloth. Dave made my GPW top which I consider a work of art. :) I'll check the binding tape on it to what I want to do which is to go around the canvas on the doors of my command car.

Thanks again!
