"Ok, I have a question for all you embroidery experts out there. What kind of stabilizer would I use with this? It's 100% rayon, texture and drape mimics pashima silk. If possible, I'd like to have a double sided design on the ends. Theorys, suggestions??" I just got a book by Deborah Jones on working with difficult fabrics. For silk she recommends light to midweight crisp tear away, single or multiple layers hooped with the fabric. She also says wrapping the hoop may eliminate slippage. Use a sharp needle size 10 or 11. For working with a polyester or acetate satin, use the same stabilizer, when hooping place a piece of tissue paper over the fabric and then the top hoop and tear a window in the paper. That way the fabric won't be marred. Needle - size 10 universal or light ball point embroidery needle. Change the needle frequently to avoid runs in the fabric. She doesn't mention specifically rayon, but I hope this helps. Jane
