Fer gawd's sake, why doesn't curling ribbon *curl* anymore? |
|
I mean, I learned this skill at my mother's knee, and it used to work great. But these days, all the "curling" ribbon I buy just lays there.
/bah humbug!

7. Problem with this ribbon is that both sides are equally |
|
dull! Made in China. Hmph. Good suggestion to cut it in half--I'll try that.
I'm only trying to decorate my bottles of glogg, dammit!

10. Good gracious, how embarrassing. |
|
The ribbon's made in the US, not China (I just went and looked.) And, I've discovered that s--l--o--w over the blade does the trick.
Never mind!
