RIBBON STITCH / STRAIGHT STITCH
 

The technique is the same when stitching the Straight Stitch with ribbon as with thread, except that you must take care to keep the ribbon flat (untwisted).  Also, don't pull the stitch too tight, or you will take away the flatness of the ribbon.

 
 
Hints:
  • As you complete the stitch, hold the ribbon flat with your finger.  This will prevent you from pulling the stitch too tight.
 
Uses:
  • Small leaf or petal
