1. A woven material for use in architectural coverings that is inherently resistant to unraveling, said woven material comprising:
a non-laminated woven fabric having longitudinal edges and lateral edges, said woven fabric comprising warp yarns and weft yarns, said weft yarns intersecting with said warp yarns to define crossover points, at least some of said warp yarns and at least some of said weft yarns comprising binder yarns, said binder yarns defining an outer surface made from a low melting temperature polymer, wherein said binder yarns are bonded with adjacent yarns at said crossover points for preventing said woven fabric from unraveling along said longitudinal edges,
wherein the woven fabric is a sheer fabric.
