Description
This velvet is soft to the touch and reads immediately refined — a fabric for occasion wear and considered decor. The fabric comes 140 cm wide and brings 300 g/m² to the scale. Its composition reads 100 % polyester.
Dark Blue carries pattern well without covering it — which makes the tone the favourite ground for prints. The fabric slips while cutting. With clips instead of pins and a rotary cutter the layer stays where it belongs. Fabric by the metre is cut in one piece; your ordered length arrives as a single cut.
What Velvet in Dark Blue is suitable for
- sheers and light curtains
- occasion wear
- kimonos

Frequently asked questions
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.
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.
