Thanks, I'll give it a try!! Steve Cohen <steve208321@xxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: Nylon Mesh backing with solvy on top should do the trick. Do not use water or any sprays on the silk as it may stain the shirt. Tear away the solvy with your hand. From: Darlene Weber To: Amaya Date: Wed, 26 Apr 2006 20:39:35 -0700 (PDT) Can anyone giv eme some pointers on sewing on silk shirts? I have an order for several silk shirts and I have never sewn on silk. I was wondering if there is anything special I need to do?? Does it use the same backing, needle, topping?? I really don't want to do them without some input from someone who has already sewn on silk. It will be a chest size design. Thanks for all of your help ahead of time!
