I just found this tutorial but I would still like to hear your thoughts : )

I have never stitched on satin, but think a 75 needle should work. Kay

I did the wedding pillow shown in the link below using wedding satin, with a tear-away stabilizer...I did not have a sticky back stabilizer....I sprayed the stabilizer with temporary adhesive, placed the satin down over the tacky stabilizer, smoothed well and then hooped all and tightened down the hoop screw well. I used a 75/11 sharp needle, embroidered the design, removed the temporary stabilizer and steamed pressed over a towel, embroidery facing the towl and with a pressing cloth on the back side. I was pleased with the results...no puckers..yay! I also made tissue holders for the bridesmaids, mothers, grandmothers and great-grandmothers....with the bride and grooms name and date...these were a big hit!

I made a ringbearer's pillow a few years ago using leftover heavy satin from my daughter's wedding dress, which I embroidered as well. I just framed the material with some tearaway stabiliser and used an 80/12 embroidery needle.

I use the liquid goo method with satin. dissolve some wss in hot water and dip fabric in , let drip outside and it will be wonderful to work with when it dries.
