- Is this ribbon stiff enough to tie bows that hold shape?
- Yes. The taffeta weave is crisp, so bows keep their shape better than soft satin or cotton ribbon. It is less drapey for loose, flowing ties.
- Will the edges fray when cut?
- The woven edge helps, but cut ends of polyester taffeta can still fray slightly. Heat-sealing the cut end with a lighter is the usual fix.
- Is it machine washable?
- It is 100% polyester, so it tolerates gentle washing, but the crisp finish softens with heat and water. Spot cleaning or hand washing keeps the shape best.
- How wide is the ribbon, and what does 1 inch suit?
- It is 1 inch wide, a mid-size width good for gift bows, hair bows, favor ties and scrapbook trim. Narrower ribbon suits tiny bows; wider suits wreaths and large bows.
- Does the brown check match the product images?
- The maker notes color can vary with display resolution, so the brown may read warmer or cooler in person. Ordering one roll first is the safe way to check the shade.
- Is this a single roll or multiple rolls?
- It is one roll of 25 continuous yards, not a pack of shorter rolls. That length covers many small bows or a long run of trim.
