What does everyone think of diamond cut silks vs. regular silks. I've never worked with a diamond cut, but I like the idea of being able to fit a (seemingly) larger size silk into a routine. Would a 24" diamond cut fit in a prop that is meant to hold a 12" regular?
I've also read reviews that say that the diamond cuts just don't look right. What do you think? Is there a good source for high quality diamond cut silks with bright colors? The silks I've seen online look very thin and pale in color. Thanks for your thoughts! |

Using a diamond cut silk in a prop made to hold a 12" silk, use an 18" diamond cut. It will appear to be a 24" square silk.

This should also help with measurments.
This should help. 24" Diamond Cut Silk is about 51" tip to tip but looks like a 36" square 18" Diamond Cut Silk is about 38" tip to tip but looks like a 24" square 12" Diamond Cut Silk is about 26" tip to tip but looks like an 18" square 9" Diamond Cut Silk is about 18" tip to tip but looks like a 12" square Silks are measured by their sewn hemmed edges, not diagonally. (All four sides should measure the same.) Bob |
