Ribbons are a great way to spruce up anything that needs a special finishing touch. Knowing which type of ribbons work best for what you intend to do will make your job easier and give you better results.
Ribbons have different type of edging, and the most common one are cut, woven, or with a wire edge. The sides of a cut-edge ribbon holds together with a stiffener while a woven-edge prevents the sides from fraying. If you are looking for a ribbon that holds its shape, a wire edge ribbon is what you need. To prevent disgraceful wires sticking out at the end strips of the ribbon, simply gently pull in the fabric, and cut the wire approximately ¼” on each side, leaving the fabric part intact.
