Use a light-weight fuseable interfacing before you cut. It stops the raveling and distorting of such a soft fabric.

Don't do it! It might be okay for a small piece added to a square but as a border......run for the border.......

Any slick material..... I always say forget it...drives me crazy cause it wiggles all over the place. Good luck...hope you do better than I did.

My DIL bought some really beautiful shiny slick fabric and made a quilt for my GD. Oh, boy! There is no FMQing it. It was impossible. She still hasn't finished it and is soooooo disappointed.

I've used satin quite often and never have any trouble. I've made wedding dresses, pillow cases, pillows and several other things. I even used Tissue Lame' in wall hangings and to me that is much worse than satin.

i used satin for a cornerstone in some sashing... i measured & marked before i cut it, then ran fraycheck along the lines... then cut it... helped with the fraying a lot & the little girl i made it for loved to rub the satin squares, so worth it, i guess

I use the satin binding a lot on the baby quilts I make. It is folded in half so I just pin it on, do a zig zag stitch which gets both sides at the same time. Never had a problem. I even seam it like I do my regular binding (on the diagonal)... Try it on a small piece of fabric first to see if you like how it looks. Good Luck!

Walking foot, roller foot or teflon foot is the way to go if you don't have an IDT system built into your machine. If you haven't got access to any of those, lots of pinning with lace pins or thin applique pins.There is also a double sided wash away tape that might be useful to 'glue' everything in place before sewing.

I am working on the latte quilt which is all satin. I iron fusible batting onto the back (iron with the batting facing you). I sew as soon as I have done this to prevent ravelling. Works fine.
