Classic Pointe Shoe Ribbon Stitch Kit • A0524

The Traditional Way to Prepare Pointe Shoes

The BLOCH A0524 Classic Pointe Shoe Ribbon Stitch Kit brings traditional satin ribbon, wide elastic and the core sewing tools together in one compact tin. It is an excellent choice for dancers who prefer the familiar hold and polished finish of non-stretch pointe shoe ribbon.

BLOCH A0524 Classic Ribbon Stitch Kit – Contents & Use

The kit contains approximately 2.2m of soft double-faced satin ribbon. Unlike stretch ribbon, this traditional style retains a consistent length when wrapped, creating the familiar feel and neat classical finish preferred by many dancers and teachers.

Approximately 50cm of wide, thick elastic is included to help keep the heel of the pointe shoe securely connected to the foot. Its placement and tension can be adjusted according to the dancer’s shoe, foot and preferred attachment method.

A spool of wax-coated pink thread, two sewing needles and two safety pins provide the essentials for attaching the ribbon and elastic. The coordinated pink thread helps the finished stitching blend discreetly into the lining and satin.

A quick unpick is included for carefully removing misplaced or worn stitching, while the sewing advice leaflet offers a helpful starting point. Everything stores inside the reusable metal tin, keeping the small tools together between new shoes and repairs.

The Ritual of Preparing a New Pair

Sewing ribbons and elastic is the moment a professionally fitted pair of pointe shoes becomes personal to the dancer. A0524 keeps that familiar preparation simple and organised, from dividing the traditional satin ribbon to securing the final stitches, while the compact tin remains useful for repairs throughout the life of the shoes.

What Customers Like

Customers appreciate having the traditional pointe shoe essentials gathered together in one portable kit. Feedback describes it as useful for finishing new shoes and convenient enough to carry everywhere, making it especially appealing for first pointe shoes, replacement pairs and emergency dance-bag repairs.

Product Highlight

✨ Classic Satin, Wide Elastic and Sewing Tools in One Tin

A0524 makes traditional pointe shoe preparation more organised. Soft double-faced non-stretch satin ribbon, wide elastic and coordinated sewing tools are stored together in a compact case that can remain in the dance bag for future repairs.

Why We Recommend It

This is the better BLOCH kit for dancers whose teacher or fitter recommends traditional non-stretch ribbon. It provides a familiar satin wrap and includes the wider elastic and sewing essentials needed to prepare a new pair without buying every component separately.

Dance World Tip

Choose A0524 when traditional non-stretch ribbon has been recommended; choose A0527 if stretch satin ribbon is preferred. Always have the pointe shoes professionally fitted and ask the dancer’s teacher or fitter to confirm ribbon and elastic placement before sewing.
