Choosing the right width for grosgrain ribbon can prove to be quite a bit of a challenge, especially for beginners, as there are multiple types to choose from. Buyers can opt for grosgrain ribbon widths ranging from less than 3 mm to more than 24 mm. The choice should be based on the characteristics of the garment and personal preference. One should however keep in mind that not all widths are suitable for all types of sewing projects.
