For the longest time I had been wanting to know about the BP drawstring, and how exactly it was done.
Thanks to you, no longer am I going to have to be on my knees at an event having to do the same laborious task of pleating 4-6 yards time and time again.

Would you be able to offer any insight as to what they used for the actual tape which forms the loops?
You're welcome. I feel that it's important to make this sort of stuff available to ensure that it's not lost. Imagine if you will a fire in which it or something similar was destroyed - we'd never know.

It's not the best qaulity I'm afraid but here's a close up of the tape.



It's a narrow herrngboned cotton material. I don't know what the technical term for it is but it reminds me of a narrower version of the bands we used to wear when I was at Primary School (5-11) during team games to indicate which side one was on.
