Yeah, it's a little difficult to work with, but I have made several wedding gowns out of it, so I will say I have quite a bit of experience working with silk, made my 3 DGDs silk and velvet dresses for Christmas a couple years ago. I love challenges. That's the way you grow, both mentally and in your work. Always try to do something new each time you take on a project. Right now I am working on a QAYG, never done that before. Then I will work on HST's, all that bias stuff gets me a little nervous.
