John Mark Embroidered Football Stitch Wired Ribbon - 4" x 5 yd

Football laces embroidered onto fused dupion — actual stitching, raised off the ribbon, not a print of laces. This is John Mark's best-selling game-day roll and she took two dozen.

The reason it works is that it reads as a football from six feet away and as real embroidery up close. Printed football ribbon never survives that second look.

Four inches wide, five yards. Stock it from August and it is gone by the first home game; pair it with the pleather fringe in your school's colors.

• Wired edge, holds its shape
• Embroidered football stitch, raised
• Fused dupion
• 4" wide x 5 yards
• Item No: JME-WN25-137-BRN-4
