[amayausers] Re: More Satin Help Please

I use 75/11 sharp needles, if there is any doubt as to whether they are in 
good condition I put new ones in. I read that satin will pucker if your 
needles are dull or if you use ball points. They need to penetrate cleanly 
to prevent puckering. Just my 2 pennies worth.
