I have a music box jumber cut in velvet. I thought using a Bemburg rayon for the bodice lining would be good to reduce bulk, but I'm having a terrible time sewing it (attaching the rayon lining to the velvet bodice). The lining is slipping and puckering no matter how much I pin and baste. Should I give up and use something different for the lining? I'm afraid to use a walking foot for fear it will mark and crush the velvet.
This isn't the first time I've sewn with velvet, but I don't remember having this much trouble with it before.
Any tips or suggestions on working with velvet? Anyone know of any articles or accurate information online?
