A tip to file away!


Quite by accident I discovered you can modify the width of the end result of this ruched ribbon no matter what the width of the ribbon.  The book's instructions have you mark the gathering lines according to the width of the ribbon.... which I did (A) and the end result was too wide....









But if I narrowed the spaces between the triangles I got a much narrower end results.

    Thanks for sharing. I am planning on printing it out and keeping it in my crazy quilt stitch binder.
