Satin is made either from woven silk or synthetic materials like rayon or polyester. Although its sheen is luxurious, satin isn't easy to care for. Most satin is dry clean only and it snags easily when the fabric comes in contact with sharp objects, according to Sew Any Fabric. A snag in satin is removable as long as you act quickly. The place where the snag was won't be perfect, but it won't stand out either.
