Satin is REALLY slippery and difficult to get a good grip on. After I hoop the satin, I take the extra hanging out above the hoop, fold it over several times, and stick straight pins through it, the pins flat to the toop. I do this all around, and it keeps the fabric from sliding back in. *************** =========================================================== The AmayaUsers Mailing List Website: http://www.amayausers.com Discussion Board: http://www.amayausers.com/boards Subscribe/Unsubscribe: http://www.amayausers.com/list ===========================================================
