I'm trying to cut out a top in rayon and everything slides all over the
place. What's the easiest and best way to stabilize the stuff so I can
cut out and sew things with out the blasted slipping. I'm ready to pull
my hair out or at least say bad words.

Years ago when I was learning to sew with knits we were told to try
spray starch if there was a problem with slipping and sliding. That's
about the only suggestion I can think of offhand.

My FIL was a garment cutter and his advice was to pin the fabric and pattern
pieces through an underlayment of paper (tissue paper or what ever you
have,be careful of newspaper because of the ink) and cut out pieces through
all layers.

Thanks Judie and Elaine, I'll give both methods a try on small pieces
and see what I'm most comfortable with. I told my DH I was having a
problem and his answer was, Have you asked your sewing friends yet? You
know they'll have answers for you. He thinks a highly of this group as I
do. He knows how many times I've gotten help with problems here.
