I have done embroidery on ribbon. Have a Janome machine and there is a special foot that holds the ribbon in place while you sew decorative stitches onto it.

I do embroider on ribbon all the time and have used several kinds. I like to make bows with ribbon for cemetary flowers. Always use a sturdy one that will hold up in the rain and snow if necessary. I use sticky stabilizer I got with my hat frame and just stick the ribbon to the paper. It holds quite well and really looks nice. I don't like to make hsts that much so the hoop gets many other uses. Really do not need a hat hopp since you can hoop the sticky paper, use a razor blade and score the paper to pull off the top so the sticky is up. It is addictive. I love to embroider on toilet paoer also. Makes such cute gifts, especially for baby showers.

I have done it alot of times, just make sure the ribbon is tight in your frame and you shouldn't have any problems.

Linda, I have in the past used ribbon to put my Mother's name in her clothes for the Skilled Nursing Home - it worked fine. *4U

I embroidered some numbers on grosgrain ribbon. It turned out OK. I used temp. spray adhesive to attach the ribbon to stabilizer and basted the ribbon on as well. It wasn't a dense design so I had no problem with distortion. Hope this helps.

Yes, I embroider names on ribbon. I only embroider on grosgrain ribbon. I don't have any problems. The ribbon I use is thick and I don't have any problems. Joan

I tried this once - just because my manual showed how it was done. It was not a great success. I must try again one day. I am sure you will have a lot of help from all the talented Cuties out there. Great question.
