Abstract

A ribbon embroidery applique is formed by stitching silk ribbon through a fabric backing. Stitches appearing on the front side of the backing create a pattern. The stitches and the backing are stabilized by applying a layer of glue to the rear of the backing and to the ribbon on the rear of the backing. The backing is trimmed closely around the pattern formed by the ribbon. The ribbon embroidery applique may be attached to a garment or a household item using reusable glue or other methods.
