You can use a leave-in stabilizer by Sulky called something like “soft and sheer.” You can use more than one layer if you like and trim it off around the stitching on the back side. It’s so soft, you don’t need to cut very close and can graduate the edges if there are more than one.
I have used this with satin stitching and also with decorative stitching on quilt blocks. It’s intended to be used for children’s tshirt appliques, etc. Lovely stuff and not slippery.
If you use a fine thread, such as 60 weight, your satin stitching will not be thick or wide.
