Airbrush77 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
siv1987 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

siv1987 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
