Double-faced means that both sides of the ribbon have the same satin finish, providing a consistent and attractive appearance no matter how it is viewed or used.
While durable, 100% polyester satin ribbon is best suited for indoor use. Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight and harsh weather conditions may cause fading and degradation over time.
Consider the scale of your project. Wider ribbons (like the 5cm) are great for making a statement, such as large bows or binding edges, while narrower widths are better for delicate details like embroidery or small accents.
While the ribbon comes in a vast range of colors, dyeing polyester fabric can be challenging and may not yield predictable results. It is generally recommended to choose from the available color options.
'Per metre' means the ribbon is sold by the linear meter. You can order the exact length you need, for example, ordering '3' will give you a single continuous piece of ribbon that is 3 meters long.
This ribbon has a soft drape and a smooth satin finish, making it pliable and easy to work with for bows and folds, while still maintaining a quality feel.
Use very sharp fabric scissors. For permanent applications, consider sealing the cut edge with a fray-stop liquid or a very quick pass with a flame (with extreme caution and practice).
Although fully washable, it's always advisable to test wash a small sample first, especially with darker or vibrant colors, to ensure no color bleed occurs.
For crisper bows, ensure the ribbon is ironed flat before tying. For structured bows, consider using a slightly stiffer ribbon width or interfacing.
Setup:
This ribbon requires no special setup. It is ready to use straight from the roll. For cutting, use sharp fabric scissors to ensure clean edges and prevent fraying. Consider using a fray-stop product for added security on cut ends if the application demands it.
Compatibility:
Compatible with most fabric glues, sewing machines (use appropriate needle and thread), and crafting tools. It adheres well to various materials including paper, cardstock, fabric, and plastics.
