I think that it needs a little stabilizer, but don't know what kind, because all of the fusible stabilizers that I know of, you use with a hot iron which you can't use on silk. So what would you stabilize it with?
Check out HelenFujiki.com She is an amazing quilt artist from Toronto, Ontario. She's made many quilts from old kimonos that she's bought at markets in Japan. Her quilts are "blow you away" awesome!
