There is a wonderful product by RNK Distributing called "Quilters Select Fabric Prep". It is their new quilting products line endorsed by Alex Anderson. This is a feather weight fabric that fuses to the back of your fabric that adds a light support to the fabric to help relieve distortion, raveling, puckering and runs. (I am typing it right off the package). It is NOT a stableizer in the sense that you would use it in embroidery, but it supports your fabrics without adding bulk.
I fused it to the back of some silky fabric to add support before I cut it out. The item was to be embroidered, so I did use the appropriate stableizer and the jacket turned out beautiful. It was not stiff, but retained its softness and drape.
This can also be fused to the back of your finished machine embroidery to keep the "itchies" from little bellies when you embroider those dreaded baby onesies. Or any other itchy labels/seams/etc.

Would the silks still ravel if you use a thin type heat and bond? Someone on this board was saying that there is a thinner, lighter adhesive that is out now. I can't remember what the name of it was.
Just my opinion, but wouldn't this quilt work out better as a wall-hanging rather that a throw quilt? It would be easier to see and you wouldn't have to worry about cleaning it so much, and the threat of unraveling the countries would be almost not existent. And who want to unravel a country? LOL

What a great quilt that will be. Here's a place that sells tons of charms for low prices.

I use most of the RNK/Floriani products and find them to be excellent. There are videos on their website about every one of their stabilizer/toppers/batting. Also on their new line of quilting products endorsed by Alex Anderson. (Love the bamboo batting and the wool batting)
