What is the total length of the ribbon on one roll?

Can the ribbon be cut into smaller pieces?

Does the ribbon have a specific right or wrong side?

Troubleshooting
Ribbon fraying when cut
Use very sharp fabric scissors or a rotary cutter for a clean cut. For synthetic ribbons, a quick pass with a flame (using extreme caution) can seal the edge, but test on a scrap piece first.
Color transfer
While unlikely with quality polyester satin, test for colorfastness by dampening a small section and pressing it against a white cloth. Avoid prolonged contact with surfaces that could be stained by dyes if the ribbon becomes wet.
Ribbon losing its sheen
Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive washing. Store the ribbon away from direct sunlight and abrasive materials.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: No specific setup is required. Simply unroll the ribbon and cut to your desired length using sharp scissors for a clean edge.
Compatibility: This ribbon is compatible with most fabric glues and hot glue guns for adhesion. It can be sewn onto fabric, though care should be taken to avoid melting the polyester with excessive heat.
Care: To maintain the ribbon's sheen and softness:
- Hand Wash: If necessary, hand wash gently in cool water with a mild detergent.
- Air Dry: Lay flat or hang to air dry away from direct sunlight or heat.
- Ironing: If ironing is needed, use a low heat setting and place a pressing cloth between the iron and the ribbon to prevent melting or scorching.
