silk pointelle source silk pointelle tips tricks
MorganAdcock Advanced Beginner NY USA Member since 3/27/10 Posts: 38	Login to reply to this post Like this post Date: 11/25/11 7:00 PM I'd love to find a source for silk pointelle, or at least knit silk fabric that I could use to make long underwear. Dose anybody know of a source? Have tips for working with it?

No colour bleeding in the print I bought. The white areas were somewhat sheer. My only real word of advice is use wooly nylon in your loopers if you're serging. -- Edited on 12/5/11 8:26 PM -- ------ Cheap fabrics, like cheap shoes, are a false economy.

The prices are very reasonable, and the fabric is dyeable. For about $18, I can have a pair that I haven't had to take time out to cut, sew, serge, and insert elastic. ------ "We don't impose our rhythm on Nature. The key is to respect and live within Her."
