Yeah, but the stitching (if it is sewn) still holds together from the backside so you should see the stitching coming through to the frontside, right?

I get what you are describing, but the replica ribbon isn’t “doubled over” and only consists of one layer…
Unless the original ribbon was “2-ply”?
Ah…the original ribbon might have been “2-ply”…
Anyone else see 2 layers, here?
Does anyone know of the original WWII British military ties were “1-ply” or “2-ply”?

I used a British Uniform wool tie for replacement of my Museum Replica (the one included with the ceremonial jacket). That was also single ply.

You should still be able to just graze the backside of the surface with the needle. Keep the stitches small going toward the front.

Re: LEIA ADDED! Blasters on the bench: Greedo, DL-18, GK, Droid, E-11, DH-17 more Got it. Thanks so much. It's perfect and I really appreciate the bonus pieces. Glad you like them. Wasn´t sure what could be useful for you, so i´ve gone for one more generic and one more specialized. :wacko

Blind hem. These were hand stitched. I've circled the visible threads and drew a parallel red line next to them to make them more visible. If you machine stitch your ribbons you'll have a visible seam, which isn't what you want. The presser foot would be too wide anyway, and to use a blind presser foot, it would be even wider, so you want to hand stitch. You can see from my markings that the few visible threads run diagonally and are uneven which indicates hand sewn. The stitches are still there on the real medal, covering the screws, otherwise those would be visible.
The original source was unlikely to be ties as Luke's poncho was made of the same material and the trim on it was unbroken. If they'd used ties, you would see a lot more seams to make up the length necessary to cover the edges of the poncho. Mollo and his team had rolls of this stuff.

Continued my work on this.
I thought I would do a technique I used on my raptor claw that is a mix of white glue, baby powder, and paint. It helps give an item an organic look, I did a layer and then toned it back in order to get some of the design elements to show.
I did some paint apps and added some fixtures for the strap. I did not have any rings around so I just 3D printed them as well.
Next is the strap which I have and the hose, which I don’t have.
When Halliwax calls, I jump.
One of the most satisfying parts: pulling off the masking...
