Description
Petrol never decides between blue and green. Depending on its neighbour, the shade tips one way or the other.
This ribbon is 6 mm wide, made from 100 % polyester. At this narrow width, satin is above all one thing: unobtrusive. It hardly adds bulk, lies flat around curves and threads through tight casings. Sold by the metre from 0.2 metres. Washing, ironing, bleaching and tumble drying are ruled out by its care symbols — this ribbon belongs where things stay dry. Seal a cut edge briefly with a flame and it will not fray.
What Satin Ribbon 6 mm Petrol 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.
Will it hold on paper?
With double-sided tape or a glue dot it holds well and peels off later without residue. Liquid glue soaks through such narrow ribbon easily, leaving dark marks.
Does it stretch as you tie?
Polyester gives hardly at all, so the length you measured is the length you keep. That helps when tying: your loop will not sag once the knot pulls tight.
