I saw some REALLY awesome colors today and immediatly thought of a zipper quilt, but when i saw faux silk...I immediately got afraid and walked away...


Thoughts?

Personally, if it is fabric, I quilt with it. Some more carefully than others.

What is faux silk? I've hand quilted on silk, but have never heard of faux silk. http://www.freesmileys.org/smileys/s...onfused002.gif

NO idea, but the colors caught my eye today so i immediately went to it. It was at walmart.

It is literally, fake silk.

Does that mean you can quilt with it?

:-D I know that, Maride (je parle français). I meant what is it made of.

If it's slick I don't use it but I know that people have. Get the smallest piece that they will allow 1/8 or 1/4 yd, take it home and try it. Some of the slick shiny fabrics show every stitch, satin is really bad about that, but my aunt did a king size quilt completely hand embroidered with cream satin. It was phenomenal and appraised at $7000.

You can do it. It may not be the easiest thing to work with. I agree try a small practice doll quilt size to see if you are going to be able to work with it. You may want to increase the seam size as this may fray more then you are used to.

I'm not sure I would like working with it. To each their own.
