I used a 75/11 sharp sewing
needle on the polyester
shantung. This size and type
of needle makes very, very
small holes in the fabric
(smaller than a rounded-tip
embroidery needle).
A wide variety of designs
look great on polyester
shantung. When choosing
designs, consider draping.
Will your project be worn,
therefore draping is
important? Or is it
something like a pillow,
placemat, or wall hanging --
items where draping isn't
important?
For projects where draping
is important, choose designs
with open areas, like this
butterfly. With this type of
design, the fabric can drape
and flow freely.
