If you need a Bias Cut ribbon, try our 100% Silk Bias Cut Ribbon. Bias cut silk ribbon is ribbon that is not woven, but rather cut from strips of silk fabric along the bias. Because it is cut along the bias (at a right angle to the lengthwise and crosswise grain) of the fabric, this ribbon will stretch and not shread or fray, but it does have unfinshed edges, giving it a specific look. Silk Bias ribbon is suitable for lining raw fabric edges as a decorative edge, such a wedding veil or quilt edge. It will stretch and bend without kinks and warping as normal ribbon would. Bias silk ribbon also looks nice when used with paper and floral crafts.

It comes in both a taffeta (soft) matte and single face satin finish. It can also be used for embroidery, but would not be a first choice. It is very dyeable. We can dye Silk Bias cut ribbon for you to match your swatch at no extra charge.

Order sample includes cuts of 1" Silk taffeta (soft matte) and 1" Single Faced (Satin finish)
