To sew the silk twill, it will be necessary to take above all into account the characteristics and parameters of the silk.

It is therefore a precious fabric, particularly delicate to work.

With care and patience, it's fully feasible, rest assured!

At first, you will have to wash your Twill by hand.

The bristles do not support the washing machine washing cycles very well.

You absolutely should not go to the dryer.

To wash your silk Twill, use lukewarm water and suitable laundry to wash it by hand. Busy your silk carefully using a sponge towel.

For ironing, avoid putting your iron in direct contact with the fabric.

Favor the use of femakers and always do tests on fabric samples.

For cutting the fabric, put your coupon flat and use maximum weight.

The bristles are slippery and fleeting and in fact, delicate enough for the cutting part.

Stabilize your fabric well and do not cut the different parts of your sewing pattern with a fold.

This will allow you to make a fairer cut, even if the steps will be longer.

At the sewing machine, do adjustment tests on your fabric falls.

Preferably use fine needles, microtex type.

The best, for this type of delicate fabrics is to take a completely new needle.

Even if you have a needle that has served you very little before, keep it for another project.

Well -sharpened scissors and a microtex type sewing machine will help you carry out a better finished project.

Likewise, you can also opt for a silk sewing machine wire (but it is not compulsory).

Favor finishes such as English seams for the assembly of your parts.

This will also allow you to do without overjection.
