Can anybody tell me about quality of their ribbon? I already read a lot, a some like it and some dont. I dont want to wast my money. I have already purchased some ribbon from Gifts international and and I dont like it. I might end up doing korkers with it. I have purchase ribbon from Ribbon Carnival and loved it. But I wish I could get it cheaper. TIA.

I use their 3/8" for woven headbands and ribbon sculptures and I like it just fine for those applications.

The ribbon is extremely soft. Some like it, some don't. I do because it creases better. Just a personal preference.

Those that use it do you bake it for your bows? does it make it alittle stiffer or just holds the shape?

Thank you girls for all your response. One more question, where do you buy most of your ribbon? Or else, what type/quality do you like best?
