{"product_id":"sophia-embroidered-velvet-knit","title":"Sophia Embroidered Velvet Knit","description":"\u003cp\u003eLuxuriate in this stunning black velvet embroidered with colorful tangerine, red, and yellow flowers. A beautiful specialty fabric with a sumptuous velvety surface, silky smooth back side, a soft hand (embroidery has a softly textured hand) and fluid drape. Crosswise stretch with some lengthwise stretch and a 12\" repeat. Cut for a nap. Dress it up or down; right for a top, light jacket, dress, skirt, cardigan, soft pants or coat. Great for a top to wear with jeans or a special occasion dress.\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.\u003cbr\u003eOR...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.\u003cbr\u003eThe biggest sewing challenge is to keep the fabric from shifting as you sew.\u003cbr\u003eMy 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.\u003cbr\u003ePressing: Keep a light hand, use a LOT of steam, and use a clapper.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSibling with Gloria and Helena Embroidered Velvet Knit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePre-treat by machine wash\/dry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSouth Korea\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e90% poly\/10% spandex\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e58\"\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"elotex","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41838344568937,"sku":"","price":12.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0988\/5176\/files\/SOPHIA-3.jpg?v=1726095499","url":"https:\/\/adurlandscapes.com\/en-ie\/products\/sophia-embroidered-velvet-knit","provider":"adurlandscapes Fabrics","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
