I have a friend who made some labels & ribbons using the ribbon.
But I myself have not done that yet.
However I would think that laying out several strips of the ribbon
than doing the alignment and stitching would be "easier" and not
leave you with a "hole" to cover or "sagging" stabilizer.
But like I said I have never done it before so I really don't know
if that would work or not.

I just read an article in a very old Threads that suggested using a sticky stabilizer and grograin ribbon.
By sticky stabilizer I mean the kind that has a paper cover over the sticky.
The article said to hoop the stabilizer, draw a line on the paper for centering the ribbon, removing a part of the paper to stick the ribbon to. It went on to suggest that to do several labels, don't unhoop the stabilizer but tear away the ribbon and cover the hole.
I'm wondering about it holding the next ribbon firmly enough to stitch out.
Suggestions anyone?
