Need advice on using velvet for quilt binding
I have a quilt that is completed except for binding. I found a beautiful citron colored velvet that i want to use and make a wide (2-3 inches) binding. If anyone has ever used velvet and has any tips/ advice, I would love to hear. I was planning to do a French binding like I normally would with cotton. The velvet is 63% acetate and 37% rayon. Hoping it will wash ok. The quilt prob wont need to be washed often. It’s a throw size quilt that will be used at the foot of a bed or on a sofa back.
I appreciate any feedback!
