What stabilizer is best for machine embroidering on silk or nylon?

I have to do several designs on silk, satin, and nylon. What is the best stabilizer to use, and how much should I use? The designs are small, and not very dense.|||you don't want to hoop any of those fabrics , it will leave a mark...


use s sticky, stuck to the hoop. Put the fabric on top, if you have to float a piece of mesh (or two underneath, (where it won't show) and a solvy (water soluable) on top...(although on the silk, I wouldn't use water...it might stain.)


Always use a fresh needle every 4 designs (or so...) it's easier to use the top thread as the bobbin thread too. that way show through, isn't.


careful with the needles on the fabric...they can make holes. (try a ball point)
