How To Sew Velvet And Pile Fabrics

Here I show how I sew velvet and other pile fabrics for curtains and drapery. Practice this method to create beautifully flat seams with no puckering or gather so that your velvet curtains hang flat. This method is one I developed over many years of running a professional curtain making workroom and requires no pins or tacking first. Just take the velvet to your machine and sew. Velvet, corduroy and other napped fabrics can be very tricky to work with as the pile causes seams to creep making sewing a real challenge. this method utilises an industrial sewing machine but may be possible to replicate on a well fixed domestic machine.
