In Response To: Skin-on-Frame: Where to get bias-woven nylon? (Luke H)

As far as I know and I once looked everywhere, this is not available. Looms that weave fabric can't weave on a bias. It can be cut on a bias and glued/sewn into fabric but it's VERY expensive and you can usually see the seams. It's also as strong as the original fabric where it's joined.
