Here are some sewing tips from our professional velvet experts:

• Before cutting and stitching your velvet, decide which way your pile is facing and stick with it.
• Test on a scrap piece firstyou may want to adjust presser foot tension and use a longer stitch
• Cutting on the wrong (reverse) side will ensure accurate markings.
• Velvet is slick: cutting in one layer (with a rotary cutter!) and using a walking foot will prevent slipping; hand basting your seam lines will prevent creeping.
