Question quilting silk fabric

I have to do some quilting on a quilt top made of raw silk. I'll be doing this on a longarm machine. Is there anything special I should be aware of when sewing on this fabric?
The fabric seems thinner than regular cotton fabric so I'm thinking of using a smaller needle. The backing is regular quilting cotton and the batting is Quilters Dream cotton. The silk is a neutral taupe color.

Thanks for any advice you can give me.
