Airbrush77 117 Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 This is our first time to embroider on 100% silk camp shirts and would like any tips on the best way to do it. Ball or sharp needle? Backing type? etc. Thanks! Quote Link to comment https://forum.embroideres.com/forums/topic/367-silk-camp-shirts-with-embroidery/
siv1987 237 Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 What is your approx stitch count - Is it dense and are there satin stitches? Quote Link to comment https://forum.embroideres.com/forums/topic/367-silk-camp-shirts-with-embroidery/#findComment-1795

siv1987 237 Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 2 suggestions Our diagonal no show nylon mesh w a tearaway behind it http://www.lebowconsulting.com/stabilizer-reviews.htm Or We make a product called Cloud Cover Stitch - see same page It was originally developed to arrest any fraying on silks and satins Fuse it on @ 300F w a press cloth It is the exact opposite of a stabilizer as there is stretch in all directions - so it will not adversely affect drapablity or hand You will then be able to get by w a 1.8- 2 oz tearaway We will of course send samples Quote Link to comment https://forum.embroideres.com/forums/topic/367-silk-camp-shirts-with-embroidery/#findComment-1797
