Hi all! My question is, how do you stitch on velvet, using no topping, and get it to stand out? Double stitching works for some of the details in the RW designs, but not on others. This will be a small quilt when finished. Help please.

I treat velvet the same as fleece.. I use WSS topping and tend to go for satin stitch designs,
I also find that the topping helps stop any fluff from the velvet go up the needle.. i just then spray with a lite mist of water and leave to dry..
I do a lot of velvet jackets for a Gymnastics club :-)

I always use a topping on velvet. The one I have found that works best for me is one that can be steamed off after I have removed all that I possibly can. Iron away super film stabilizer is heat disintegrating. ;)

Does the topping thoroughly leave NO residue on the velvet?
Thanks, Bonnie

I have some of the iron off stabilizer and heard that it was difficult so i have not tried it. I did stitch with a 50 wt cotton thread and it looked fabulous, I did not use any topping. Live Laugh Download Stitch!

Hi Bonn, when I use velvet I always use a WWS topping. When completed I cut off as much as I can, then I use a spray bottle of water and then you just pull it off.
Maybe someone else can help.

Does this work well with the velvet ?
Is there a residue in the velvet?
Needing to know....
