All I can say is Ditto.......

If you think that 6 or 7 bar medals are bad how about replacing the ribbon on the 26 bar medal that I have...... :lol: :lol:

Ended up using a pastry spatula a lot of curse words so would not recommend it.....

What I do is to slip the ribbon down between the face and carraige of the bars until it pokes out the bottom of the stack. Then I use a pin to ease the ribbon out a bit more and then fold it back under the suspension bar, pull it out some more and then push the ribbon back up and (of course) behind the front bit. Sounds complicated, eh? Well it works for me and is occasionally a bit fiddley!
Happy threading.

It also helps to cut the 2 corners of the leading edge at 45°

Hi Henk, that's interesting as I tried that but I just find the new ribbon so thick! I will persevere.

Ian
