Just came across this site today & was interested in your question & possible answers.
I am in the same boat, my son brought me 4 yards of different colors of oriental brocade from China several years ago & I don't know what to do with it -- I asked for 'quilt frabrics from China'. A quilt artist whose pattern I was going to try suggested because it frays so much I might consider backing it with an ultra lightweight fusible interfacing..and use a microtec or very sharp needle to hopefully prevent the pulling that could show. I may try a sample of a part of her patterrn - paper piecing, but not sure how it will press out either.
Will watch for any further replies.
