FAQs

What is 'double faced satin'?

Double faced satin means the ribbon has a satin finish on both the front and the back, providing a consistent, luxurious appearance regardless of which side is visible.

Can this ribbon be used for outdoor events?

While durable for indoor use, prolonged exposure to direct sunlight and moisture may affect the satin finish over time. It is best suited for indoor applications or temporary outdoor use.

How do I cut the ribbon cleanly?

Use sharp fabric scissors for the cleanest cut. For synthetic ribbons like satin, you can carefully use a flame to seal the edges, preventing fraying. Practice this technique on a scrap piece first.

What is the best way to tie a neat bow with this ribbon?

Ensure the ribbon is flat and smooth before tying. Use firm but gentle tension. For a large bow, consider creating loops and securing them firmly in the center.

Is this ribbon suitable for sewing machine use?

Yes, this ribbon can be sewn, but it's recommended to use a fine needle and potentially a walking foot to prevent the satin from puckering. Test on a scrap first.

How much ribbon is in one metre?

One metre of ribbon is exactly 100 centimeters (approximately 39.37 inches) in length.

Can I order this ribbon in a different colour or width?

This specific listing is for Dusty Pink at 7cm width. The Berisfords range offers a vast selection of other colours and widths, which you can find separately.

Troubleshooting

Ribbon is creased.

Gently iron on a cool setting with a pressing cloth, or hang the ribbon with a weight attached to allow gravity to straighten it.

Satin finish appears dull.

Ensure hands are clean when handling. If the ribbon has become soiled, follow the hand-washing instructions carefully.

Ribbon frays at cut ends.

Seal cut ends with fray check liquid, a flame (use with extreme caution and practice), or by carefully backstitching.

Care Instructions:
