Have any of you ladies ever quilted with satin? I just recently finished quilting an all satin baby blanket for a customer of mine who will be giving it to a new great niece when she is born.

I had never done one before & believe me this one was a very stressful undertaking. It was made entirely of satin on the front & the back with lace all around & I quilted roses on it with my longarm. It came out beautiful but I was so stressed making it that I've told her No more please.

Satin is not a very forgiving fabric to work with so I had to be extra careful with my stitching. I told her that I would be willing to make more for her but only using the satin on the borders & binding.

If anyone has any helpful hints they care to share on an easy way to quilt with satin I would be most grateful for your directions.

Thank you,
Mary C
