Silk Ribbon Embroidery is three dimensional in it’s appearance. The design of the flowers, leaves and greenery sit up off the background fabric giving interesting and sometimes elaborate detail. The embroidery stitches that make up that design are uncomplicated and easy to stitch. Another advantage of Silk Ribbon Embroidery is that it is not as time-consuming as other forms of needlework as the design makes up fast and thick.
