I would suggest using the KNIT iron-on interfacing, which will give some stability, but not be stiff. It is available in white or black.
Use a terry towel over the ironing board, and fuse with the velvet face down. You can always experiment on one corner before fusing everything.

Dawn, Did ironing on the interfacing flatten the pile to any degree ? I have seen Panne velvet really cheap but was put off by the stretch factor, I wondered if fusable interfacing would cure this., but worried about the pressing making more problems then it cured. melody --- On Fri, 12/4/09, Dawn <d...@reddawn.net> wrote: From: Dawn <d...@reddawn.net> Subject: Re: [h-cost] lining for panne velvet To: "Historical Costume" <h-cost...@indra.com> Date: Friday, December 4, 2009, 9:42 PM Cascio Michael wrote: > Will lining the bodice stabilize the stretch? Would I cut the lining on the bias or the straight. I'm considering tacking snowflake buttons at intervals to decorate the bodice and keep the layers together. Any thoughts or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. > I have used iron-on interfacing to stabilize panne, with pretty good results. I ironed big sheets of it right onto the back of the fabric before cutting out my bodice pieces.
