What kind of velvet is it? If it is cotton, washing it up first will soften it alot.

Hi Cin, I do a lot of hand basting with silk thread to prevent
shifting. Sort of in a ladder pattern both vertical and horizontal.
I will review my Threads articles on sewing with velvet. I don't recall
any recommendations to do so, but I suppose you could "shear" the velvet
seam allowances like you do when working with fur.
Also, do you have a velvet pressing pad? They are either a bunch of
little pins or even stiff brushy type ironing pads.
