Day 8 of our 12 days of Janome Holiday Gift ideas: The Ribbon Sewing Guide

Do you recognize this attachment? The Janome Ribbon Sewing Guide allows you to stitch directly on ribbon up to 1″ wide, so you can personalize the color and design of your ribbon accents and create exactly the look you want and need.

At Janome Canada, we have published many articles on how to ‘play’ with this attachment. You can download the PDF of Accessories catalogue free on this link

You can also look at the ‘How-to’ videos about this wonderful ribbon guide:

This accessory is designed and made for Janome machines; however, the flexibility of the guides and screws makes it compatible with many brands. Add originality to your projects and personalize your ribbons with decorative stitches, sequins, beads, etc.

Finally, since an image is worth a thousand words… here are some photos.

Our partner, Sew4Home, makes good use of this attachment: click on the link to see how they use it and how they decorate different ribbons.

Another good reference on how to use this ribbon guide, is this Workbook addendum ‘Specialty Feet’ from Janome.

Did you know that you can expand the possibilities of the attachment by using another foot? In the following example, I tested the Ribbon/Sequin Foot WITH the Ribbon Sewing Guide. Now, I can sew two different widths of ribbon, one on top of each other. You can find this detailed information on page 7 of the Workbook addendum ‘Specialty feet‘ from Janome.

**Falala… so many nice gifts for Christmas are presented in this picture**

Don’t delay… visit your local Janome dealer today (in person with a mask or online) …

Santa is on his way !

About Céline Ross

À cause des imprévus de la vie, j'ai changé de carrière très tôt dans ma jeune vie d'adulte. Toute mon éducation scolaire, du primaire au secondaire et jusqu'au professionnel, m'a été enseignée par les religieuses CND qui étaient... très exigeantes. Ces professeurs m'ont inculqué le goût de bien apprendre, l'appréciation du travail bien fait et l'envie de toujours me perfectionner. Je n'aurais jamais osé ouvrir mon École de couture sans cette formation ni cette certification. Lorsque je deviens revendeur autorisé Janome en avril 1982, la compagnie poursuit ma formation côté machine à coudre et je deviens Éducatrice. Mon travail est varié; je donne des formations aux marchands Janome pour l'Est du Canada et d'ailleurs. Je participe à des Salons, à Janome Institute, je publie un cyber bulletin, j'ai fondé un 'Club de broderie' à Montréal en 1994 et, depuis l'année dernière, chez d'autres marchands. Je confectionne des échantillons avec les nouveaux produits que Janome ne cesse de développer. Et, depuis aujourd'hui, je blogue ! Après toutes ces années dans ce domaine, je garde toujours le même enthousiasme à apprendre et à transmettre mes connaissances. Janome est à la fine pointe de la technologie moderne et ne cesse de me faire progresser.

I have this guide – good inspiration. I love the free standing embroidered star/ribbon combo. Do you have a link to that embroidery file?

  Hi Kessa,
  
  Glad you like the post. The wrapping sure looks very pretty with that embellished ribbon. Sorry, I don’t have a link to the embroidery although it looks like it may be a FSL embroidery from OESD so try embroideryonline.com. You might find it or something similar there.
