Description
Fuchsia is cooler than pink and glows more strongly for it. On a dark ground it is the shade that carries furthest.
A narrow satin ribbon, 6 mm, in 100 % polyester, from 0.2 metres. It is the ribbon for places where anything wider would be too much: the loop on a tag, the edge of a card, the draw through a narrow casing. Washing, ironing, bleaching and tumble drying are ruled out by its care symbols. A permanent marker will write on it, though ink bleeds slightly on smooth satin — test it on a short piece first.
What Satin Ribbon 6 mm Fuchsia is suitable for
- Casings, because this ribbon passes through without twisting.
- Fine hems, because this shade never underlines a seam.
- Layering with wider ribbon, because layers give depth.

Frequently asked questions
Does it shift while sewing?
On smooth satin a presser foot slips easily. Sew slowly, keep slight tension on the ribbon and stitch both edges in the same direction — otherwise your second seam travels against the first.
Does a knot hold in such narrow ribbon?
Satin slips, so a simple knot tends to loosen. Pull it tight, leave the ends long enough, and add a drop of fabric glue inside if needed — then it stays where you put it.
Can I sew several side by side?
Yes, that gives a fine striped effect. Mark your lines with chalk first and keep the gaps even — at 6 mm, a gap of about one ribbon width looks right.
What happens when I seal the edge?
Polyester melts and closes that edge — it takes under a second. Hold the end only briefly to the flame and let it cool before touching, or the sealed edge distorts.
