My "thing" is - are these fabrics washable?
Some satins, etc are -
I would do some practice with seams and make them deeper/wider than 1/4 inch - satin is notorious for fraying/raveling.
I had made satin (it was washable - whatever it was) pillowcases and one of our grandsons dragged it around with him for about a year.

I have found to my knolege that using the same thickness, weight, stiffness makes very good Utilities Qt. One I was raised with them. then I used them, It was what I had, what I could afford, I learned the hard way. I have evan sp?? made pholly-nits-streach Quilts. They seem to last forever. Still have two in a trunk. I'm saving My five yards 36"x 13" times 5 ys for a blouse. I was told that it is lead silk hand woven in Japan. This was a speacillist in Fiber or something or other. The Faberic looks very light, but is actaully real heavey so it must be hung from the shoulders. Theresse
