Description
This velvet is soft to the touch and reads immediately refined — a fabric for occasion wear and considered decor. Weight per square metre comes to 450 g/m², width to 140 cm. It is woven from 100 % polyester.
In Berry a piece gains something of its own. The tone is rare enough to notice and calm enough to wear. 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 Berry is suitable for
- blouses and tunics
- summer dresses
- kimonos
Care instructions:
Frequently asked questions
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.
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.
