This velvet is soft to the touch and reads immediately refined — a fabric for occasion wear and considered decor. The fabric is 140 cm wide and weighs 520 g/m². It is made from 100 % polyester.
Natural belongs to the natural shades: warm, calm and so unobtrusive that the fabric suits almost any project. Press at moderate heat — viscose and polyester do not take cotton temperatures. Before cutting, a look at the care symbols on the article pays off. Fabric by the metre is cut in one piece; your ordered length arrives as a single cut.

Frequently asked questions
What ironing temperature?
Moderate, and from the reverse. Viscose and polyester do not take the heat used for cotton; too hot and the surface turns shiny or melts.
Which needle do I take?
A fine universal or microtex needle. The thinner the fabric, the finer the needle: too strong a needle leaves visible holes that never close again.
Scissors or rotary cutter?
On slippery goods the rotary cutter, because it does not lift the fabric. Scissors drag the layer along and the edge is no longer true.
Why does the seam pucker?
Because needle and stitch length do not suit the fabric. A fine needle, a shorter stitch and less presser foot pressure solve most of it. On very thin goods tissue paper under the seam helps, torn away afterwards.
