Is there anything special to know about embroidering on Satin? Is there a specific needle or certain weight of stablizer that is best to use? Thanks for any advice! Jen

You have your answer. Thank you for asking because we can all learn from other cuties questions. Welcome to Cute. Hugs, Marg

I followed the instructions from emblibrary and it came out perfect. bevintex gave the link for the tutorial. Hugs..Carol

another tutorial.

Hi Jen,Sorry only saw this now. I use a firm stablizer in the hoop, spray the stablizer and then place the Satin were you want to do your design.
Use a fine needle and ensure it is sharp/new. I have not had any problems.

Hi Jen, just done a ring pillow for a friend's son. Used good quality satin fabric and 2 x tear away stabilizer. Pattern was quite dense (double corner snowflakes) and both names across in a beautiful curly font. Needle - 75/11 universal without any problems! Tested the pattern before I did the real thing - came out 100%

This wasnt even my question and I found it to be very helpful. Thank you all for being a part of such a supportive site, I appreciate each and every one of you

I don't have any tips, but just wanted to say that I knew you guys would be soooooo helpful to jencraft. Once again, thank you for being a community that shares and educates instead of hoarding and grumpy. :) It is so pleasant to live in this 'family'.

I have just finished embroidering 2 pairs of satin pillowcases and used 75/11 ball point needle. This was a light design and I used a tear away (med). I didn't hoop the satin as I was afraid it might mark it. Good luck with your project. Hugs Karen
