Hints on silk ribbon embroidery
 
When starting with ribbon, there are choices:
• Leave a small tail at the back and as you make your second or third stitch, pierce the tail to anchor it to the fabric.
• Or anchor the tail with embroidery thread and a few stitches at the back of your work.
  • Or knot the 2, 3, and 4mm ribbon as you would a thread. The texture of my embroidery panels and designs is busy enough to hide the bulkiness of the knot.
• Or fold the end of the long tail of the ribbon onto itself: prick the folded section with the needle. Pull the length of ribbon through the ribbon to form a loop-like knot.
