Velvet ribbons
Velvet ribbons are versatile, velvety soft ribbons that instantly give small and large sewing projects a high-quality look. Whether as a finishing touch on collars and hems, as decorative gift ribbon, for hair accessories or for home decoration - velvet ribbons set specific accents and add texture and shine to your work.
What are velvet ribbons suitable for?
Velvet ribbons are particularly suitable for embellishment and detail work. Typical applications are:
- Gift ribbons and packaging decoration
- Garment trims, piping and rib knits
- Hair ribbons, bows and hair accessories
- Upholstery and curtain trims as well as cushion embellishments
- Craft and decoration projects
How do you use velvet ribbons correctly?
When working with velvet ribbons, proceed gently. Many ribbons can be easily sewn on with sewing machines or by hand. We recommend using fine needles and a suitable thread close to the color. When sewing, work slowly and, if necessary, fix with pins or fabric clips to prevent the pile from shifting. For ironing, place a thin iron-on or cotton fabric in between and work at a low temperature to protect the pile.
Special features and tips
Velvet ribbons are characterized by their soft surface and the slightly light-changing appearance - depending on the direction of manufacture, the color appears slightly lighter or darker. When cutting to size, pay attention to the direction of the pile and cut cleanly to avoid fraying. If you want to reinforce the edges, a fine zigzag stitch or a narrow bias tape as an underlay will help.
