I am so grateful for you my silk shirt got snagged and I was very upset because it was pretty new and I was pretty worried because my shirt is colorful so I kept looking for a solution through the internet and infact you were the only one who gave me the solution without harming my shirt even more thanks so much for your video I am so happy that I fixed my shirt
you don’t understand how grateful i am for this video! !!! i thought it ruined my new silk sheets but this method fixed it! if anyone else has a snag in the middle of the fabric and not the edge, pull the fabric towards the middle of the lip on both sides? it worked perfectly
Satin is a type of weave, not a specific fabric material. If your satin is made of synthetic fibres then this technique would work well. But if it's made of natural silk, it's best to use a towel on top to prevent burning.
I wish This would work with full printed stuff haha once you get a pull I think it’s just dome you can get the marks to go away but there will always be a line in the silk
I actually do this with my printed Hermes scarves, but it's actually the LAST step. It's a teensy bit noticable afterwards, if I'm super careful and patient. Before I take my scarves to the cleaners, I inspect for any snags that near daily wear may have caused. When I spot one I take a silk pin(meant for sewing silk) and ever so gently manuver the needle tip under the snagged thread and pull up and it'll often release back in line with the print. Sometimes, it's a bit less happy(likely a snag that I didn't catch right away) and I have to finesse it with a few strategic workings with the needle. I've been enjoying my newest scarf soooo much that I had been wearing it frequently since August. I've been procrastinating on taking it to the cleaners (because I want to keep wearing it) and just today pulled out another scarf with a floral pattern for spring. In that scarf I've been wearing, I fixed maybe 8-12 snags? I wasn't counting but it took about an hour and it looks pretty darn even, despite rushing one spot where it was extra finicky and frustrating because of a lot of snagged threads and busy pattern. Most areas were fairly simple and easy fixes. The threads will be set in place with dry cleaning and secure for the next wear, and I'll probably do that at around September (the premiere chant scarf by hermès, I wasn't 100% sure about it at first but I love it more and more with each wear and it really suits my skin tone more than my full on pastel scarves). TLDR: the needle fix isn't perfect, but you can get close to it! Keep a silk pin in your portable sewing kit and tend any snags when you see em or when you get home that day(don't be like me and wait months, life got busy, lol). Snags are inevitable, no matter how careful you are, but with a steady hand, good lighting, and a bit of patience, you've got this!
@@gracemakeslace Would you maybe be willing to film yourself fixing one of your scarves? I'm having a hard time visualizing how you use the silk needle, but this sounds like a great technique! I want to start incorporating silk into my everyday outfits as well, but I'm so scared of ruining my favorite pieces and not knowing how to fix them. D:
@@TheSoftestGirlYouKnow I've been tempted to, but I'm also worried that if someone tries it and messes up, they might try to hold me liable for it since the scarves aren't cheap at all. 🥲 It's also not really on brand with my channel's theme of making lace, which reminds me, I need to record my next lacemaking tutorial
