Stitching Slippery Fabrics
When stitching slippery fabrics like satin or silk, if you find your fabric shifting out of place
as you sew or the top layer shifting ahead of the lower layer, try hand-basting your fabric
together first.
Sew one row of basting stitches close to, but not at the stitching line (so you’ll be able to
remove the basting stitches easily). Or sew two rows of basting stitches – one on either
side of the stitching line, then sew between the basting stitches.
And ideally, baste with a fine, silk thread which is less likely to leave holes behind in your
fabric.
