Has anyone tried using this on ribbon?

Yes. It works very well but the cut of the ribbon is very important so it doesn't fray/unravel upon removal from the backing paper. I like to use my pinking shears or an angular cut.

I sewed it on. But, there is a pretty good adhesive sheet that you can get called Badge Magic, you can try. I have used it for my daughters scout badges. But after several months, there are a few edges that are detaching, so I am going to sew those on. Hope this is helful.

I would think so, the pole arms have a pretty small diameter, maybe a half inch or so. You can also adjust the height of the poles. The smallarm could be used for scissors to cut the ribbons. Only 2 concerns depending on the hole on the ribbon roll you might have to take everything offto get at one on the inside. Also there are only 3 pole arms so it limits the total number that you could put on the pole.

I used finishing line so you couldn't see it but any pretty ribbon would work to :)

Not sure what width ribbon yours takes, but when I got this for my Remington Portable #2 I had to wind it on the spools since they were to large. So as long as you need a 1/2 inch ribbon this will work for you.

This kit, the ribbon wire was just too brittle. I was extremely careful. If you can get it all to go back and fit the very first time, it would work. Any, and i mean ANY FUSSING and the ribbon wire just came off. Done deal.

Yes, it has slots for ribbons. I put two spools of the small ribbon in each space. I double up my usage and it works great.

There is no "Ribbon" in this machine. The color is in the card stock you use so if you want black letters you will have to find blank magnetic cards have a black interior instead of the white. The only other option would be to manually color the raised letters after embossing but I don't think that would be practical or look as good. I'm not sure where you could get the black card stock but I'm sure if you Google it you will find some.

I do not know for sure about the ribbon but I do not see any reason why you couldn't put thicker paper through it. It is very possible that ribbon would work if it wasn't really thick. I have had one of these for 10 years or more. The first just broke after about 10 years.

No sorry it will not work on fabric, made only for paper and photos. I tried to use on ribbon once and that didnt even work.

Get another set of matching ribbon and splice it in. I have successfully put three on one transformer/controller.

I don't know, but I would highly recommend writing to the seller (FJA Products). They were very helpful. Not only could they tell me what ribbon I needed, but they also explained how to install it.

The ribbons are pre cut and are inserted through the two holes in the top of box. So yes, if you want to interchange the ribbon you can; just be mindful that the width of your ribbon needs to be small enough to fit through the pre drilled holes.

I used several different sizes from 1/2 and smaller on the smaller plates. But stayed with the grosgrain ribbon. The ribbon I used was a bit stiffer than the ribbon that came with it.

The ribbon will fit, just depend on the size of the spool. My first thought is that it should work. Good luck.

If you don't have the instruction book, observe the old ribbon. Take off one portion of the old one at a time, and replace it with the new one. You may be able to Google the instructions.

You can and if you want to dress it up a bit, you can tape or glue ribbon matching your color(s) around the edges. That's what a friend did when she borrowed them for a bridal shower
