Sewing tips
- Die Rippen haben eine Strichrichtung. Alle Teile gleich herum zuschneiden, sonst glänzen sie unterschiedlich.
- Rippen längs zum Fadenlauf legen und an den Nähten auf gleicher Höhe ausrichten, bei Kissen auch diagonal möglich.
- Jeans- oder Universalnadel 90 bis 100, Stichlänge 3, am besten mit Obertransportfuß.
- Nahtzugaben schmal zurückschneiden und auseinanderlegen, dann trägt die Naht weniger auf.
- Für Polsterarbeiten den Stoff straff spannen und mit Polsterklammern befestigen.
- Bei 30 Grad waschen, nicht bleichen, nicht in den Trockner und nicht bügeln.

Frequently asked questions
How do I sew velvet wide cord?
Use a strong denim or universal needle, a longer stitch and ideally a walking foot, so the layers do not shift. Trim seam allowances narrow and press them apart with your fingers, and the seam will be less bulky.
Is Wanja suitable for upholstery?
Yes, this fabric is highly abrasion-resistant and copes well with frequent sitting. For armchairs, chairs and stools, stretch it taut and fix it with upholstery staples. It helps to fold the corners as a test first.
How do I care for Wanja?
Wash at 30 degrees, do not bleach, do not tumble dry and do not iron. After washing, pull it straight and dry flat. A gentle stroke with a soft brush lifts the pile again when needed.
Can I iron velvet cord?
Better not. Heat and pressure flatten the pile and leave shiny marks. Seams can be smoothed with your fingers or shaped with steam from a little distance, without the iron touching the fabric.
