There are three rows of ribbon, and it's satin stitched on each edge, though the edges that touch I could do with one row of stitching catching both.
Gave my old girl a workout - she has a very nice satin stitch because the bobbin case moved back and forth with the needle. I bought this machine because it's the same model my Mom had when I was growing up. - and it's SOOO neat looking!
The kids are Native American, so the shirt is modeled after the Ribbon Shirts, and the batiks worked quite well.
