Devoré comes from the French verb dévorer, meaning literally to devour.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSewing \u0026amp; Pressing Tips:\u003cbr\u003eMark with tailor’s tacks. I use embroidery thread for this as it does not pull out easily. Take one stitch through the fabric leaving 3⁄4” tails. One stitch only. Then gently separate the layers and clip the threads. OR...mark with a dressmaker’s pencil, making a dot at each marking. I lick the pencil to give it a bit more color and lasting power. The biggest sewing challenge is to keep the fabric from shifting as you sew. My preferred method is to use a walking foot in combination with spray adhesive like 505 Spray. Cover your work surface with paper, and carefully mask off the seam allowance with paper. Spray a light consistent amount of spray within the seam allowance, then carefully line up the edges, right sides together and stitch. This is quick and works beautifully. It is a little known secret of couture houses that for years the seamstresses have relied on similar spray adhesives for just this purpose. Pressing: Keep a light hand, use a LOT of steam, and use a clapper.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSibling with Salerno Burnout.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003ePre-treat: steam\/dry clean or toss in the washer\/dryer on gentle\/delicate - test a swatch first.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e60% nylon\/30% poly\/10% spandex\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e57\"\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"elotex","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40403212271721,"sku":"","price":13.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0988\/5176\/products\/LUCCA-3_8a98f53e-ed9f-461b-a0f0-a42e1b09be45.jpg?v=1667488226","url":"https:\/\/adurlandscapes.com\/en-ie\/products\/lucca-burnout-velvet-knit","provider":"adurlandscapes Fabrics","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
