Another Needle Board Alternative

When pressing velvet or other napped fabrics, it’s important to lay the napped side of
the fabric against a needle board to keep the pile from being crushed.

If, however, you don’t have a needle board, you can substitute another piece of velvet –
one you don’t intend to use for any other purpose and that has a very plush, deep pile.

To use, place the piece of velvet face up on your ironing board and the item to be
pressed face down onto the velvet piece and lightly press.
