I’ve learned so much from watching your videos! One of the best tips I’ve taken away front them is the importance of basting. I’m in the process of completing 3 Aria and I just can’t get over how beautiful my necklines are after basting them first. Your knowledge is priceless. Thank you for sharing it with us❣️

I haven't sewn in rayon much but I do sew silk satin and silk chiffon. I wouldn't even try it, without first heavily starching the fabric. I use old fashioned powder starch which is only available in one supermarket in my city. Makes a huge difference and rinses out easily when the garment is finished. Good for acetate lining too.

Hadn’t done a collar with stand in five years, and used your reverse collar sew technique yesterday with great success. You are a great teacher and structure the videos as a real class. That takes a lot of work! I agree 100% with your habit of hand basting. Pins can distort picky areas and get in the way at the machine. 1-2 min of quick basting assures better results and saves time & fabric damage.

About to sew with rayon challis for the first time. I've known *of* squaring fabric before cutting and sewing, but never *how* to do that. So from your video, I'm going just pick a spot on the edge and cut, and then rip it. (This is why I bought the $2.96 stuff, so I'm not ruining a more expensive yardage! I have to tell myself it's just practice fabric!)

When pre-washing, add a color catcher sheet to pick up excess dye. They are usually available in the laundry aisle, and look like dryer sheets. They do a great job of preventing dyes from redepositing on other fabric.

@@LiftingPinsandNeedles You might be able to find a type of detergent called Synthrapol, sold with dye or tie-dye supplies. It isolates the dye particles in the water so they can’t deposit on fabrics. I’m a weaver and dyer, so I use both Synthrapol and color catcher sheets regularly.

For narrow hems I use 1/4 inch doubke sided fusible tape on raw edge then fold it up and top stitches perfectly.

Where do I begin? I'm late to the party. I literally stumbled upon one of your videos and after watching it I did a search for videos on handling rayon. This video gave me all the information about Rayon I could possibly need. It was a master class! Thank you so much for sharing this valuable information. I haven't sewn a garment in a long, long time. While scrolling thru Mood fabrics offerings , a beautiful rayon caught my eye. I made the purchase and decided I would learn how to best handle this beautiful fabric when it arrived. I know, I put the cart in front of the horse. I've subscribed and look forward to watching your videos. You include videos of actual sewing which is everything to me. Sending hugs, thank you. So, my plan is to stay stitch all raw edges, wash in cold on gentle and air dry in the dryer. hand baste and use a walking foot (is that a good idea, or will that pull the fabric too much?)
