Hi cgwriter and welcome to SWN. I don't usually sew satin...usually just do quilting but here is a link to a site with advice on needle sizes to use. Check it out. Others may be along to give you better advice.

Satin likes a small very sharp needle. . I prefer the Schmetz microtex
size 11.
Have fun or don't do it, Tom
