Use a walking foot or reduce the presser foot pressure on your sewing machine.
Ensure all pattern pieces were cut with the nap running in the same direction.
Use a velvet board or a thick towel underneath the fabric when pressing and avoid direct pressure with the iron.
When working with Minerva Core Range Cotton Velvet, use a sharp, universal sewing needle and consider using a walking foot on your sewing machine to prevent the layers from shifting. Because of the nap, always cut your fabric in one direction to ensure color consistency across your finished piece. To maintain the integrity of the plush pile and the depth of the bottle green dye, dry cleaning is strictly recommended. Avoid high-heat ironing directly on the face of the fabric; if pressing is necessary, use a pressing cloth and a low-heat steam setting to avoid crushing the pile.
