Satin is so difficult to work with, can't imagine trying to make a quilt with it. Isn't there a cute little girl you can make a dress for so you don't have to fight that stuff through a whole quilt, even a small one?

I have used satin in paper piecing and it worked great-

Press it with spray 'sizing' before you cut. Helps keep the raveling down to a manageable amount. Use more pins than you think you will need, then use some more! Remember, every stitch will leave a hole. Unseaming is going to show. Take your time. I made a fancy satin western shirt years ago for a 'Lone Ranger' Halloween costume. It is still the only thing I ever made out of satin. Draw your own conclusions. Some people sew with satin all the time. I am not one of them!

Starch and stabelize (spelling?) would be my thought. But, i wouldn't use it if I didn't have to. You could use a stencil paint brush and put no-fray on the edges, but that would be a chore
