Recommended uses for T. J. Silk Ribbons and T. J. Pre-cut Bias Silk Ribbon

Note: It is important to clarify the differences between ribbon and bias cut ribbon.

Our Silk Ribbons all have woven edges, whereas the Bias Cut Ribbon is actually cut into bias strips from a length of silk charmuese fabric, sewn together to providing long, narrow bias strips. These Pre-cut Bias Silk Ribbons do not have a woven edge.

We only provide natural colored ribbons and bias because they can all be can be dyed any color, utilizing the COLORHUE instant set silk dyes. And better yet, they can have image embellishment with the Lumiere/ Neopaque paints.
