100% Polyester Black Velvet ribbon 1.5 " wide. Excellent for edging clothing or home furnishings like jackets, skirts, drapes and dust ruffles. This is woven on a straight grain so it does not curve or bend for rounded edges. Must run in straight lines, or allow for tiny tucks to take up ease on one edge. Works fabulously on leading edge of drapery panels! Can also be used to make a belt or headband.
