Laura Farnham 179 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 772 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 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

delld 2,047 Posted March 31, 2016 Report Share Posted March 31, 2016 Beautiful!!1 But I think I like the back best! Looks like a whole clothe. The silk colors on the front are awesome and so bright! Feathers re PURRRRRRFECT! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sheri Butler 364 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?
