no fray fabric

[brankulo]

was wandering if anyone knows of any fabric that does not fray. i know of hypalon, but its rather expensive and cant find any colored hypalon. i need several colors.
thanks

Vinyl-coated polyester is what you want.  Seattle Fabrics has the best selection of colors that I've seen.

The picture below has two bags with vinyl-coated poly in them - orange poly for the star in the Arizona flag and red and yellow for the C in the Coloado flag.

thanks, that should work for what i need. so no edge finisheing necessary? also have you used 10oz or 18oz. just wandering how thick 18oz is as it looks like there is better color selection

I've used both 10 oz and 18oz weights, but yeah - more colors available in 18oz.   I didn't finish the edges at all, just straight stitched close to them.

It can fray very slightly, but it takes a lot to make it happen - my canyoneering pack has a few frayed edges but they aren't bad.

I use industrial walking foot machines now, but my home machine did ok with the fabric too - I just had to go slow.
