Embroidery on Ribbon

[Buy The Stitch]

I have been asked to embroider lettering on "art floral" ribbon. My first attempt was not pretty. I used auto thread feed, and there was a lot of pull on the woven ribbon. I am preparing to increase my thread feed, and try another sample. Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I use my fast frame 4.5 x 11. It has given me the nicest stitching on ribbon. The sticky backing keeps it pretty straight. I also keep the speed to about 800.
