So I am making a quilted wall hanging for my mums church (she is a minister) and have come across this "quilters sateen" fabric, basically its 100% cotton with a satin weave used to give it a very lusterous finish.
has anyone used this fabric? any special precautions i would need to take? I ask because it looks a fairly..... unforgiving fabric. |
I would buy just a fat quarter to experiment and work with it, wash it, etc. I think it would be beautiful in a wall hanging.
|
It is beautiful for a wholecloth quilt.
|
I'd like to try sateen. Where do you find it?

I use it as backing, and as a panel in my art quilts as a foundation for applique. Just check the fabric content, as some sateens out there are cotton/poly blends.

I just bought Sateen solid white for the sashing of a baby quilt and love that it's so "dense!" I will be forced to press a few seams toward the white and I don't think they'll show at all! I'm sure it's not the best sateen - I got it at Joann's but by golly it's the most expensive fabric they carry! I liked the different sheen because it's sashing and sets it off even more.

I have seen some beautiful english satin at JoAnns by the Kona Cottons. I believe it was a cotton poly blend but it sure looked like it would work great in a quilt or wallhanging.
