I am starting #2 on quilts made from my brother's shirts. This one will be for his son. When I made the first quilt, I noticed that when I cut the silk shirts, the fabric had much more movement than cotton (yeah, one of those "duh" moments). I should have stabilized the fabric. A learning moment.

So, again with the silk shirts. The silk has a heavy, almost cotton feel but I know what it does now when it is cut. I absolutely love how the first quilt felt so soft and inviting so I am hesitant to use a stabilizer which might change the feel of the finished product. I am thinking of using a water soluable stabilizer but was wondering if it really dissolves 100% and if it changes the color of the fabric.

What has been your experience with Soluble stabilizer? Any suggestions? Which brands are best? I guess I should warn you that I am a total newby with this product (don't expect me to know anything).

Or should I be using something completely different?

I found this on Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...?ie=UTF8&psc=1
