In Response To: One more vote for slow drying (Brian Nystrom)

: I also prefer the satin finish version, as I don't like the look of a glossy
: skin.

Thanks guys,
slow drying it is and I did get satin.

I bought polyester from Dyson Badarka Co. I got 8 oz and have only used nylon in the past. I wonder about how it will sew compared to nylon? Will it shrink the same or maybe more? Will it cut like nylon with a hot knife or something like that.

If there is a link to information about sewing with polyester that would be very helpful.

Thank You All for the help and information.
