FAQs
What is the best way to cut this ribbon cleanly?
For the cleanest cut, use sharp fabric scissors or a rotary cutter. Polyester satin can also be sealed with a small flame to prevent fraying, but practice this technique on a small scrap piece first as the material can melt.
Can this ribbon be washed?
Yes, it can be gently hand-washed in cool water with a mild detergent. Avoid high heat or harsh chemicals. Lay flat to dry.
Is this ribbon suitable for outdoor use?
While durable, prolonged exposure to direct sunlight and weather may cause the color to fade and the material to degrade over time. It is best suited for indoor applications or temporary outdoor use.
How wide is the ribbon?
The ribbon has a width of 40mm.
What is the total length of ribbon on one roll?
Each roll contains 10 metres of ribbon.
Is the color the same on both sides of the ribbon?
Yes, this is a double-sided satin ribbon, meaning the color and sheen are consistent on both sides.
What kind of projects is this ribbon best for?
It's ideal for a wide variety of projects including wedding decorations, gift wrapping, clothing embellishments, scrapbooking, card making, and general DIY crafts.
Troubleshooting
Ribbon frays after cutting
Use very sharp scissors or a rotary cutter. For a cleaner finish on polyester, carefully use a flame to seal the cut edge (practice on a scrap piece first).
Color transfer to other materials
Ensure the ribbon is completely dry before contact with sensitive materials. If significant color transfer occurs, test the ribbon's dye fastness by lightly dampening a small section and pressing it onto a white cloth.
Ribbon loses its shine
Avoid washing with harsh chemicals or in hot water. Store the ribbon rolled and protected from dust and prolonged direct sunlight.
Ribbon is creased from storage
Gently unroll the ribbon and lay it flat. You can try ironing on a very low heat setting between two layers of thin cotton fabric, avoiding direct contact between the iron and the ribbon.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup:
This ribbon requires no complex setup. Simply unroll the desired length from the spool. Use sharp scissors or a rotary cutter to cut the ribbon to your specific project needs.
