Frequently asked questions
What can I sew with this velvet?
Fabric Depot recommends it for activewear, blouses, dresses, pajamas, dancewear and jackets. It is light-to-medium weight.
Does it stretch?
Yes: horizontal stretch. Use a stretch or ballpoint needle and a stretch stitch or serger so seams move with the fabric.
Is it see-through?
No, it is opaque.
How do I care for it? Should I pre-wash?
Care: Machine Washable. Synthetics shrink little, but a pre-wash removes finishing residue.
How do I sew velvet?
Cut all pieces in the same nap direction, use a walking foot and press from the wrong side over a towel to protect the pile.
How is it sold and where does it ship from?
