I'm new at this been a quilter off and on about 7years need tips on cutting and sewing satin
|
RUN, don't pass go, just run! It's the pits to sew.
|
Satin is directional - like corduroy - so use a "with nap" cutting layout.
It also tends to ravel wildly. |
I use pinking shears to cut with and maybe sew with an overcast stitch if your machine as that feature.

welcome!
|
thanks thats what iwant to do is run
|
could you fuse interfacing to make it stiffer and more manageable?
|
What were you planning to do with the satin?
|
I think "Run!" is a good response! :D
If you have a serger, wherever possible, serge rather than cutting the satin with scissors. Mark the seam lines on the satin with an air-soluble marker and serge on the lines. A serger can save your sanity when you're working with satin. :) |
