How do I place ribbon on a round pillow and ensure that it will not pucker as I sew it to the fabric? Appreciate any advice or suggestions. I usually work with satin and taffeta fabrics for the wedding pillow I design.

Martha Pullen has the market cornered on that technique.. Check her website to see if there is a tutorial there.. She does it with lace, but ribbon should work as well.. You would just have to put a stitch in it to gather it with since the lace already has a thread for that purpose..
