Has anyone embroidered on satin ribbon?
I am looking for ideas for making ribbons for our guild quilt show next March. I just purchased an embroidery machine and had the idea of embroidering on satin ribbons for the show. Has anyone tried doing this and does it work? Any tips will help! Thanks.

Haven't done it on satin, but I have embroidered on ribbon. Hoop the stablizer, I used a medium weight tear away, then either use sticky spray or pins (pin holes may show on the satin, as will the hoop marks, check first). If planned carefully, you can embroider on several pieces of ribbon in the same hooping.
