I have a fairly large " area" (one side is padded with an inch grid, the other side is a cutting board). I pinned a one- sided fusible interfacing fusible side up. Then I pinned the coordinated ribbon on the long side (just one side). Start the weaving from the other left side of the pinned ribbons. Anchor, position the ribbon at both ends. Continue, making sure your weaving is "tight". When completed, using a ironing cloth, set the ribbon/interfacing with the iron. CAREFULLY, lift off board, straight stitch around the four sides. Use batting, a fabric backing, and the fused ribbon (traditional sandwich) and bind.
