advice on working with organza and satin

tissue paper sometimes easier to take off than baking paper.

I wish I had a walking foot! Have ordered one but the shop is taking FOREVER!

Don't use a stretch needle - they have a more rounded tip so are more likely to break the fine threads of organza. In stretch fabrics they are supposed push threads aside, particularly with knits so they don't cause runs. In organza and satin this would be a baaaaaaad thing.

If you were still in Brissy you could come over and get one!

I just used a zigzag stitch to edge the organza. Even if you are sewing it into another seam i'd still edge it first, else it can still keep fraying and come out from the seam.

I got some sharp 70 needles for my machine.

do you think the overlocker needles matter if they are ballpoint?
