- What can I use a 7-1/4 inch wide ribbon for?
- It works as a decorative band on bags, cushions, aprons, skirts and costume pieces. It is too wide for fine edging, so treat it as a panel trim rather than a hem finish.
- Is the pattern printed or woven?
- It is a jacquard weave, so the butterfly and lace motifs are built into the fabric. That makes it more durable through washing and folding than a surface print.
- How much ribbon do I get?
- The listing states about 4.8 to 5 yards. Because the length is approximate, measure before cutting a project that needs an exact amount.
- Can I sew it by machine?
- Yes. Use a fresh needle and a slightly longer stitch, and finish the cut ends to stop fraying. Polyester ribbon can slip, so pin or baste it first.
- Will it match cotton fabric?
- The polyester sheen is noticeable next to matte cotton. It pairs well with other synthetics, felt and costume fabrics, but test a scrap against your main fabric first.
