Ribbon stitch
This stitch makes great leaves or petals, and works only with silk ribbon.

Ribbon stitch Sampler
1. Bring up at A, pull through.

2. Lay ribbon flat on fabric and insert needle at B, piercing ribbon and pulling through slowly. Ribbon will curl into B, so don't pull tightly, or effect will be lost. To vary curl, pierce B to right or left of center of ribbon width.

Tip: If ribbon appears straight and narrow, make another stitch on top of first one.

That was all the was available in our area. Now the isn't any. Even the ones that pop up an a search don't seem to have many (or any).
