Velvet is kind of tricky. I've heard this saying a million times. But I am going to say "Velvet can be tricky to work with unless you have the right tools." I have a feeling that this time next year I am going to work with velvet again. So I am going to take good notes.Tips
Velvet slides easily, so pin about every centimeter.
Cutting: use a good pair of scissors. tried both a rotary cutter and a brand new pair of scissors. The scissors worked beautifully.
Ironing velvet is terrifying. Use a hand held steamer. Steam velvet upside down
Do not fold velvet, hang it up on a hanger attaches to safety pins
Before cutting check the nap.
When selecting a project try to select something simple without darts
Pressor Foot: Walking Foot
Sewing Machine Needle: 70/12
Thread: Silk
Pins: extra long satin pins
Final tip: When you're done making your project
Rock it like a Rockstar!!!!!!!!!!!
