Making seams in Stretch Velvet fabric is easy, and can be done by hand or with a sewing machine. To avoid any slipping, hand baste two pieces of Stretch Velvet fabric together before starting to sew. To create a strong, smooth seam, use a zigzag stitch when sewing the two pieces of Stretch Velvet fabric together. Stretch Velvet fabric does not fray, and edges can be left unfinished at the seam.
