@madgeface@mastodon.art Because of the way it’s been treated, silk organza is shockingly easy to work with compared to all other silks. But I know from experience that it can be a Shifty Seamus when used as you describe. In those instances, I’ve basted the organza to its other layers with big pad stitches to keep everything together and left them in until all embroidery is done.

@elfkin@woof.group Thank you! Yeah, it seems less slippery than any other silk but I'm low-key afraid to cut it because fabric is so precious these days - it'll be fine, I'm sure. The embroidery's going to be done before I assemble the sandwiches, but point taken about maybe hand basting instead of pinning (well, and the holes left by hand sewing will be smaller than any pins I have anyway.
