In reply to Zoe Harkness. I have realised that most all ribbon embroidery work that youve probably spent ages doing would easily fall apart if you embroidered, then dissolved the soluble aida cloth that youve stitched it onto, so I would not reccomend it myself personally. I have seen others cut around the outer edge of their ribbon or embroidery, work then they hand stitch or sew it onto other fabric or clothes, ect. I wasnt game to try it myself as yet. It might work if you find tutorials on Youtube or you can download thousands of whole ribbon embroidery books for free off pdfdrive.com that teach you how make or sew ribbon and embroidery flowers or stitched artwork seperately, without any cloth and it doesnt fall apart then, then you could hand stitch that on to cloth or soluble fabric, then dissolve it. But then I think, why pay for cloth and stitch it on if u are just going to dissolve it. Good luck and ope that helps anyway. : )

In reply to Lorraine. Is it the difficulty in going through the patch that is bothering you? Have you thought about using a sewing awl for this - the kind used to make small holes to ease passing of needles when sewing thick fabrics like leather - leather sewing supplies

Hi, I’m having a difficult time finding an answer for this, I am certain that you will know the answer. I am doing a standard ribbon embroidery piece…however, my design has a patch of satin on top of my ground that I want to hold in place with an iron on adhesive. But, as this is for someone else, and made sense to me at the time, I am concerned about getting the ribbon through the patch. Have you any ideas for me? It’s a fairly extensive and detailed piece, I sincerely look forward to your advice. Thank you in advance.

Help! I’ve just completed two decorative pillow covers stitched with silk ribbon embroidery. I feel I should protect the back of the stitched side as it looks messy and am not certain that the stitches are secure enough.. Will a light Pellon fusible backing ruin the looped ribbon stitches? Any recommendations would be appreciated.

I’m embroidering a jean jacket for my sister with some sunflowers, and was looking for something large enough to do the stems that won’t look too thin or be a pain,
Would ribbon embroidery work for that do you think I’m just worried about how delicate it is

In reply to Marilyn Moore.

Hi
Hooping can sometimes ruin the ribbon embroidery especially if flimsy satin ribbon is used. You can just fluff it back, most of the time.

One way out is to float the material ie use a backing (the backing is hooped) and attach this backing to the fabric with temperory adhesives – the way sometimes machine embroidery is done.

I started a rectangular ribbon embroidery project and realized the only way to finish it is to put the hoop over some of my finished work. Will it ruin it? Any suggestions for moving the hoop to complete the project? Thanks

I’m looking to purchase some of the silk ribbon for hand embroidery. I’m going to be retiring or going to part time, will have more time for projects! I have work with this type of embroidery in the past! Just wondering if anyone knows where I can purchase the silk ribbon for hand embroidery, in the Midwest (Iowa) area. I’m the type of person that would like to see the colors in person!
