No I didn't use interfacing as I thought it would make the fabric too hard to fold. If you are using silk a lot of people interface it before cutting, Thai Silk is a firmer fabric than pure silk so it wasn't too bad to work with, I cut my strips 31/2 x 6 and then fold over 1/2 inch to make them 3 x 6 so as the raw edge does not show, I also put a few tacking stitches at the bottom of each "petal" and then top stitch the last row to hold everything in place.
