Here is Santa - the freebie from schuring-naaimachines.nl. This is a very dense design which I thought did well on satin. I do not know how else to stabilize, so if you could tell me how you would do it. I liquid goo'd the satin, use 1 heavy cutaway and badgemaster topping. I also floated another sheet of cutaway under the hoop. Two colors are repeated the flesh tones on face and hands that I did not stitch. I also did not stitch most of the pink shading on the suit. Thanks for looking

We'll see when I get the rest of them complete, I have to do better as far as puckering, and I am not sure how to do that with large designs. I do have a pre-printed fabric that may go well with this.

I think you have done an amazing job!
I think I would add a sticky back dissolvable too. Something that would hold the fabric stationary. I am not sure if you could do an iron-on stabilizer or not. I hope someone is of more help than I am with this one.

I used temp spray, however I could use an iron on tear away? I also have a hydro stick tear away, if I can find it. I do not like using sticky if I can help it.
One more layer of cut away underneath??
I like to stay away from sticky too -- but it seems if you could get the fabric to hold its shape...a pucker or two would disappear.
I use a sticky wash away, if I worry about the fabric moving or shifting. I could be wrong, but it looks like the fabric shifted between the toy sack and the boots.
I know you will pull this off! You are VERY good at this!

That is really nice and must have taken some time to machine.

I got too tired and had to leave it overnight.
Well, a fantastic job and worth the effort, I say.
Thank you for saying so.

I find that with Satins sometimes an iron on interfacing is needed, then a heavy iron on either cut away or tear away it will reduce the puckers a little depends on what the finish item is to be used for

Ok I should use a light peltex (what I have a lot of) and then cutaway. Gotta remember this!

It is a very nice design and looks good on the fabric. If you have software that can take out some of the stitches, it will help reduce the density. The design will still look great but not be as dense. You have great advice already. Keep working on it and you will achieve the look you want.

Thanks so much. I really want to conquer satin and towels I had beginners luck with towels now I have to work at it!

Does your machine have a baste around function? That really holds everything in place very well. If not, I would pin around as best you can or use some clips to hold it all in place. Hugs. Nan

Thank you,. I will have a look. I have read so much I gets jumbled.
Hi Jer, I did the temporary spray on cutaway like they said, their trick which I have todo is to add double sided stick tape to the corners of the inner hoop that holds the corners down. Great tip! I will try it probably today or tomorrow. Thank you!

May 8, 2013 - Very nice look - I've never tried satin.

I figure the thread is polyester why not the fabric. Stabilizing is as always key to a good result. Thanks for commenting.
