edge forming ?

[Fabricator]

hello. new guy , so please excuse me when i don't know some of the terms you use.

 

i have this faux hid. when i cut a shape from it, usually square, 3"x4" perhaps. i want to round the edges, think 1/4 round shape, but not done with a router. 

i can't roll it under, as the edge would then not lay flat. 

 

thank you

also (i just looked around here and didn't see anything)

a place were i can get small pieces of real exotic hids = gator, snake. small pieces = would fit in a letter envelope.

 

thank you

I don't think there is anything you can do to the edge of that. It appears to be vinyl, and as such is just plastic with a fabric back. It cannot be edge beveled and made to look good. The best you could do would be to bind the edge with a different material. "Faux" leather cannot be worked like the real thing, simply because it is NOT the real thing.

As to your other question, this is probably your best bet.
