FAQs
What does 'continuous piece where possible' mean?
It means that if you order multiple meters of the same ribbon, we will try our best to cut it as one single, unbroken length. However, for very large orders, it might be necessary to supply it in separate lengths.
Can this ribbon be used for children's clothing?
Yes, it can be used for children's clothing, particularly for waistbands or cuffs, provided it is securely attached and meets safety standards for the specific garment type.
What is the best way to attach this ribbon to fabric?
It can be sewn using a sewing machine or by hand. For craft projects, fabric glue or other strong fabric adhesives can also be used.
Is the 'cream' color a bright white or an off-white?
The 'cream' color is an off-white shade, providing a softer, warmer tone compared to a pure white.
How durable is the velvet finish?
The velvet finish is soft and luxurious but can be sensitive to abrasion. It is best suited for applications where it will not experience heavy rubbing or wear.
Can I get a sample before ordering a large quantity?
Sample availability may vary. Please check with the retailer or manufacturer for specific sample policies.
What is the stretch percentage of this elastic ribbon?
The exact stretch percentage is not specified, but it is designed to provide a comfortable amount of give for waistbands and other fitted applications.
Troubleshooting
Ribbon seems to have lost elasticity
This can occur with excessive heat or harsh washing. Try gentle stretching while damp. For future use, adhere strictly to the recommended care instructions.
Velvet pile appears flattened or crushed
Attempt to gently steam the affected area from a distance or use a soft brush to lift the pile. Avoid direct, high heat ironing on the velvet surface.
Thread is snagging during sewing
Ensure you are using the correct needle size for your fabric and thread. A finer needle may be required for sewing through the velvet without causing pulls. Check your sewing machine tension.
Continuous cut order is in multiple pieces
While efforts are made to provide continuous cuts, very large quantities may be divided. Please check the total length received matches your order. Contact customer support if the total length is incorrect.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: This ribbon does not require any specific setup beyond cutting it to the desired length for your project. Ensure you use sharp fabric scissors for clean cuts.
Compatibility: The Habercrafts Velvet Elastic Ribbon is compatible with most standard sewing machines and can be hand-sewn. It adheres well to various fabrics, including cotton, polyester blends, and lightweight wools. It can also be used with adhesives suitable for fabric in craft applications.
Care: To maintain the velvet's texture and the ribbon's elasticity, hand washing in cool water is recommended. If machine washing, use a delicate cycle with cold water and place the item in a mesh laundry bag. Avoid harsh detergents and high heat drying, as this can damage the velvet pile and degrade the elastic. Iron on a low setting, preferably between layers of fabric or using a pressing cloth, to avoid crushing the velvet.
