In this large master bedroom, we installed 120 yards of silk. We highly recommend the fabric to be backed as it is not stabilized, but a good backing needs to be selected. Custom Laminations did a nice work by using a product called Silk/Bac.
This company does several kind on different backing and offers its various product for many upholstery work. Underneath the fabric, we applied our cotton padding and the C.E.S ( Clean Edge System). The result is a perfectly smooth wall every time. The bonus with this type of installation is that no gimp or double welt is necessary.
