Is it normally better to do ribbon buys? well what I mean is it cheaper? I just started clippie making not to long ago and I think I have a ribbon addition... :rofl:

[poshnpretty]

it depends. Most of the ribbon buys are for custom prints.

And many of my buyers still prefer solids. I will suggest to stock up on the 100yd rolls for solids atleast 15 to 20 colors, 25 yds for dots and 10 - 15 yards for prints.
Ribbon addiction is very bad ,lolgirly

what are the best colors for solids to stock up on besides white and black?

[beansnana]

See, I forgot all about my very first large purchase. LOLOL I ordered from UB all of their 3/8 solids and have grown from there. I figured if I had those, I could add prints as I went.

I have bought from UB, which is where I buy a lot of my 3/8 for headbands and some korkers. I also use the 7/8 and the 1.5 when I'm layering bows because it's thinner and it's easier to crease with the thicker ribbon like schiff or offray. I like UB's swiss dots and polka dot as well as their organza with the satin trim.

For twisted boutique bows I have sciff and offray mainly from the ribbon retreat's wholesale site, some from RABOM when they have their sales. I have a schiff account now so I will probably do most of my ordering directly from them unless I find deals.

Prints I browse, I just bought a few from oh*my*gosh goodies off ebay, I just love the magical vacation ribbon. Tabby Wabby has it too but didn't have the mouse with the dots which I was looking for.

I have also bought from hip girl. I like the colors but the ribbon is somewhere between UB and schiff, it's a bit slippery.

[yaz_daz]

Thank you ladies for all you help

[Karyn]

I buy from so many places that I can't remember where I got it from which makes me nuts when I want to order more of a certain print! LOL If it comes on a roll, I always label the roll when I get it. I have started a log to try to keep up with it better and avoid some frustration!

[MsJCreations]

I'm sorry but I don't have the price of the trims on the price list I have. Maybe you can email them and ask for the price.

by any chance would anyone know the prices on these from ub?
