    Default Quilting on silk
    Several members have asked about quilting on silk. It is definitely a fabric that ravels-a lot. So try not to handle it to much. If you have a serger, use it! As far as long arming it, it quilts like butter. I used the smallest needle I can so the holes are smaller scale. It's really fun to see it come to life.
    Here is another angel quilt I just finished for a customer. Going to a newborn baby boy!
