i've made a few baby quilts of symphony satin & lace, lace inserts for my grand daughters & friends' babies. all have held up well. the only ones i probably should have worried about were those for my little angels, the exdil washes everything to the point of destruction, but all of thier quilts are still doing well. ex dil complained about the first satin quilt, said she didn't "want to have to take care of 'heirlooms' until the kids grew up!" i said great! because i don't make 'heirlooms'. when the babies become toddlers their pretty little satin & lace confections can become drag around quilts, then they can become toy quilts for their dolls. use everything i make and enjoy. nothing needs to be saved. the satin quilts have not frayed, the lace is intact & so is the ribbon. with the satin & lace i pin like crazy, shorten the stitch length & use clothing style 5/8" seams. a student of mine many years ago wanted to make a quilt with brocade samples & remnants from a fabric store. we made a beautiful quilt but we had to use fray check due to the multilayered weave.
