Working With Satin

Satin fabric is beautiful with an expensive look. Its lovely, but also slippery to work with. It slides all over the place when pinning, cutting and sewing. It is mostly used for wedding dresses or prom dresses, but I love to use it for my newborn bonnets.They turn out very beautiful! Because it is so slippery, that means you need to take extra precaution when laying out patterns and cutting the fabric. Lay the fabric folded selvage to selvage, with right sides facing each other out on a sheet or tissue paper and use only very sharp scissors or a rotary cutter. That makes it somewhat easier and a little longer to work with then other materials. Try to avoid pinholes by pinning your patterns outside of the seam allowance area. You can also use tailor's chalk to mark any special pattern details. Don't use fabric-marking pens, they bleed and can permanently damage your satin fabric! Because satin is a slippery fabric, it is relatively difficult to sew. Prior to stitching, test your needle on a piece of satin scrap. Satin works best with a sharp, lightweight needle. Increase the sewing tension to secure the satin fabric as you feed it through the machine and use a single-hole throat plate to avoid the fabric jamming into the machine. You must take extra care feeding the fabric under the needle of your sewing machine to ensure the hem or seam remains straight. Only handwash or dry clean satin and remember to use a dry iron and press cloth! You can find this beautiful Bonnet at http://www.facebook.com/GrandmasPropShop
