Tiny, tiny stitches will help with the fraying.

You are much braver than I am. I can see where it would be beautiful but soooooo hard to work with.

I'm going wayyyyyy back! To help in preventing the waves when sewing, you should pin your satin to tissue to sew. Remember though you don't want to place your pins in your satin area that'll show and will not go away, place your pins where your seam allowance is. As for the fraying aspect, you could try using pinking shears or pinking rotary cutter. This should help some with the fraying.

Good Luck!! :thumbup:

there is a product called easy shape or knit shape and it is a light weight treico that can be ironed to silk or satin for pecing so it is easy to piece and handle and dosen't fray...

If you have access to a serger, one that sews the seam and serges at the same time, this would be the time to use it. Otherwise I would overcast or zigzag so that it doesn't unravel. My daughter-in-law made a satin quilt for her friend as a wedding gift. It turned out quite beautiful but she had trouble with the edges fraying. She didn't have any problems with the fabric waving,though.
Good luck!

slippery, with alot of fraying is right... you'll need to sew your pieces on a foundation, or it'll be all over the place!
