Hello, viewers!
Life was hectic the past couple of weeks with family visits and commission work. This left little time to sit down for video sessions.
Thank you for your patience!
This week I discuss sewing velvet and understanding the concept of differential feed. This is perhaps a more advanced technique, but I certainly hope it helps those interested!
When sewing velvet to other woven materials without a pile, it will be easier to lay your fabrics so your velvet faces the machine foot--not the feed dogs. The pile of velvet sometimes makes it difficult for the fabric to lay flat during the sewing process. This cushion compiled with the pull of the feed dogs can cause waving or puckering in your seams. Simply alleviate this headache by placing your velvet layer away from the feed dog. The video will explain this concept with small diagrams.
I sincerely hope this helps!
