I am ready to stitch together a vest cut from rayon velvet. I have used stamping to emboss the pieces, but I am hesitant to start sewing. It have always been stressful and tedious. I just read a suggestion to use Totally Stable. And I don’t want to do that. I also read a suggestion to use spray glue, but I do not want the glue on the fabric.
I tried a sample seam using a twin needle, and it worked fantastic. I even did a narrow serged finish on the seam. But still I hesitate. to start construction on the whole garment using this method. Has anyone tried using a twin needle to sew velvet? What are you doing that works well. There is only a small dart on the front in this vest, and most of the rest is easy sewing. I need tips on what works with sewing velvet.
