I look at these, pet them, and then move on. I just know the nightmares that can ensue if I try to work with them. That said, when I do work with them, I starch them really well and that tends to tame the slipperiness (is that a word?) of the poly silky. The starch washes out in the end and everyone is happier.Summersethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00364235843222794829noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7871855805349050304.post-2460847807401293252010-05-23T22:59:40.177-04:002010-05-23T22:59:40.177-04:00Very nicely done and useful tips.

But I've got to say after sewing the real thing for my last garment, there is nothing to compare with the real thing.Gailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00622769905155059570noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7871855805349050304.post-31995852454223752092010-05-23T20:17:35.958-04:002010-05-23T20:17:35.958-04:00Lovely top.

The last one I sewed was so slithery I could hardly cut it out.
