I thought I'd show what Ive been up to. I have been sampling some heat set gathers to make the ripples for my C+G work. I gathered the fabric, which is polyester satin, a very heavy weight one, and taffeta. I then cooked them in the oven in a baking paper parcel for 15 minutes. the creases are now set premanently. i think they have turned out well, I now need to work into them with stitches before heat setting. The last one was foiled before putting it to cook, but the scan doesn't show it well.

Could you share the "recipe" for heat setting like that please? Looks absolutely wonderful---and a great way to finally use the polyesters that are in my stash! Please please please????:}
The textures are GREAT!
I thought at first that you'd "perfected" using Chisimi thread with a heavy fabric.......I'm still having problems with lightweight fabrics!
