Try cutting your ribbon extra long so you have plenty of room for stretching. It's hard to know what's happening without seeing it--I wonder if something strange is happening with the tension on your machine, or your feedogs so the ribbon is being pulled faster than the towel?Anneliesehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03670002900625092259noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2611352990646835361.post-45175026640146692872015-06-25T22:47:51.649-06:002015-06-25T22:47:51.649-06:00I am having trouble keeping my ribbon in place as ...I am having trouble keeping my ribbon in place as i sew across the towel.

I think the anonymous criticizer needs to get a grip! Lol<br />Thank you again for sharing your knowledge, because without people like you, sewing can end up a dying art. We live in such a throw away society, and many people are quick to just buy whatever, instead of mending and creating. It is nice to see someone who shares their gifts with others, and your talent for sewing is definitely a gift!<br />Thank you so much!!<br />:) StephStephnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2611352990646835361.post-88204944616200642422011-12-04T21:22:53.100-07:002011-12-04T21:22:53.100-07:00@Whitney: I think if you have good quality fabric ...@Whitney: I think if you have good quality fabric ribbon it will wash just fine! I actually haven't washed any aggressively because I give most away and use them seasonally. I would just advise to finish the raw edges really well so they don't unravel.

I believe that your friends would accept your gesture in the spirit intended. Most people that just have a need to feel "valued" wouldn't take the time to make a handmade gift. They would bring something over the top.

I'd just like to say I agree with the Anon commenter, if no gifts are specifically mentioned then it is correct etiquette to respect that wish and not take anything at all. Why else would the request for no gifts be made?<br />Personally I certainly wouldn't feel the need to take something, wrapped or not. The need is perhaps yours, to feel valued.<br />EmmaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2611352990646835361.post-35885118095942479732011-03-10T09:32:48.216-07:002011-03-10T09:32:48.216-07:00What a lovely {and quick!} idea!

Perhaps I should have refrained from bringing a gift. Since it was small, unwrapped, and given discretely to the bride-to-be, I was hoping she'd appreciate it as a simple way to underscore my well-wishes. It was the type of gift I would have given just to say "congratulations," party or not. That said, I'm a supporter of etiquette, rather traditional actually, and I believe in continuous self-improvement...:-) So maybe next time I'll do differently.Anneliesehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03670002900625092259noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2611352990646835361.post-10842422550284626952011-03-09T15:36:26.064-07:002011-03-09T15:36:26.064-07:00So cute!
