If you tease it out and lay it on greaseproof paper then spritz it with water, lay more paper over the top and press it with a dry iron, you get a filmy sheet of loveliness that can then be FMQd onto a fabric background. It wouldn't be washable obviously but it's fabulous for a wallhanging. The silk I used was hand dyed and I bought it in a little packet at the Festival of Quilts here in England last year. http://www.stef-francis.co.uk/fibres...rowsters-waste this was the supplier.
