Tip on sewing silk perfectly

Have you always been avoiding silky fine fabrics?

I've done a silk dress few years ago and tried to forget it ever since.

Recently bought a long skirt in silk. Had to cut it and do a narrow hem.
Tried every possible setting on my sewing machine, still it wasn't coming out right.

Got this advise from a sales lady in John Lewis when buying thread.

All you need is some fine paper. The one they wrap your new clothes in shop.

Just cut it in strips and put it underneath your silk when sewing.

Does wonders.

Tear away the paper and you're left with perfect seam.

Hope it helped ;)
