Laura Farnham Posted March 30, 2016 Report Share Posted March 30, 2016 First time stitching on Silk,... wasn't too bad,.... My customer said she wanted feathers,..... the challenge was not being able to mark the spines,.... so I cut out the shape from paper and just laid on the quilt top,,, when I started stitching,... I would move paper and stitch in design,... worked well,.... and placement was pretty good,..... Used silk batting too.... Cotton backing,.... and Glide thread,....

Cagey Posted March 31, 2016 Report Share Posted March 31, 2016 Laura: It looks outstanding. Is there nothing you can mark silk with that does not leave a residue on the fabric? Cagey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheri Butler Posted March 31, 2016 Report Share Posted March 31, 2016 WOWZA girl! LOVE it, and the gold backing/thread?!!!!! What color of gold glide was that? I was seeing if the backing was one of the same colors in the quilt top, and it looks like it is to me from the pics. The more GOLDEN gold, not the yellow gold. correct?
