Sorry I didn't see this earlier.
You can buy pre-made piping at JoAnn's - with the bias tape. You can also buy the cording for the center of the home-made piping there. I'm not sure where JoAnn's keeps it, but it's generally sold by the yard.

I'll see if I can find instructions for doing bias-cut strips very easily. (I have some written out instructions from like 10 years ago somewhere, but the picture is important, and I don't have a scanner.)

Ok, found some decent pages:

Instructions for installing piping:

Some instructions/tips on making piping

And here's how to make the bias cut strips easily:
