Full details

The Berisfords Woven Tartan Ribbon in Black Watch is designed for crafters, event planners, and gift-givers seeking a classic, high-quality aesthetic for their projects.

FAQs

Is this ribbon double-sided?

Yes, the Black Watch tartan pattern is woven into the fabric, making the design visible on both sides.

Can I wash this ribbon?

It is intended for decorative craft use. Hand washing is not recommended as it may affect the weave and the crispness of the ribbon.

How many bows can I get from one 25-metre spool?

Depending on the bow style and the length of the tails, you can typically expect to create between 80 to 100 small decorative bows per spool.

Will the color fade if left in the sun?

Like most fabric ribbons, prolonged exposure to direct, harsh sunlight can lead to minor color fading over many months.

Can I use this for sewing projects?

Yes, it is excellent for decorative trim on garments or accessories, provided it is handled carefully to avoid snagging the weave.

Troubleshooting

The ends of the ribbon are fraying after cutting.

Apply a light layer of clear fabric sealant to the cut end or use a hot-knife tool to cauterize the synthetic fibers.

The ribbon feels too stiff to tie a bow.

Gently manipulate the ribbon between your thumb and forefinger to soften the fibers, or lightly steam the ribbon to relax the weave.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your ribbon projects look their best, follow these guidelines:

  1. Cutting: Use sharp fabric shears for a clean edge. If you are concerned about fraying, apply a tiny amount of fray-check sealant to the end of the ribbon immediately after cutting.
  2. Storage: Keep the ribbon on the original spool to maintain its structural integrity and prevent creasing. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent color fading over long periods.
  3. Application: When attaching the ribbon to invitations or paper goods, use acid-free double-sided adhesive dots or a low-temperature hot glue gun. Avoid using excessive glue, as it can seep through the woven fibers and leave a visible mark.
