"Expert" may be a bit much, but L.Rose makes great veils too - although they're slightly heavier than A'Kai. I've seen other veils as light as A'Kai - generally speaking they're not quite as pretty and/or the colors aren't quite as brilliant (as an A'Kai). OTOH, red and black are pretty hard to screw up, YMMV.
If you're getting half circles for double veil, hem the top (straight) edge! If this is the first time for some to do double veil with silk, be prepared to re-learn technique. Slow down and drop the power level; silk won't tolerate it. If its the first time for some to do double veil period - do it with tissue lame' or organza. Double veil is hard enough to learn without the added frustrations of doing it with silk.
