not really, just not knowing anything about them..i thought it would take away the softness of the material, for the quilt.
i worked with it once, on a tshirt quilt, and i used the wrong fusable..it was hard to quilt..lol

i know lots of people who work with silks, with great success, i use a light weight (recommended interfacing for silk) woven interfacing...you leave it in, i would never try to remove a stablizer from silks...they keep the silk stable in the finished product. great drape and body is added and you can get fusable
