Hi
I received as a gift from my Chinese exchange student several yards of imitation silk. It really is a polyester but so fine you almost can't tell the difference.
I am going to use this one almost gossamer like fabric (with a lining) on the family reunion pattern. it is really an adorable print. And since it isn't real silk I won't worry about the stuff a toddler can do to it. Not that it will be everyday wear.
I can tell it will fray easily. Any suggestions on how to work with it.
I don't want to damage it while sewing and I want to some how finish the seams or it will fray itself into falling apart.
Special needles? Thread tension? Feed tension? Thread?
Any advice would be really appreciated!
