This is a good embellishment to use when you have a long straight line to break up…By choosing a ribbon that is close in colour to one of the patches and arranging the ribbon to cover part of the seam and to extend well into the other coloured patch so that the colour leads the eye around the corner which breaks up the line…Then use another stitch to finish the seam the.
To attach the ribbon twist and scrunch it under your fingers and use beads to hold it in place…I have put one end in a seam and tucked the other under the ribbon but both ends could be hidden under the ribbon.

Very tricky. Martha Green would call this a “con”…and it is a most useful one!
