OK the difference between a Wilton (which has dead yarn) material buried. The Velvet does not. This is why we are capable of using seam tape on velvet constructions. On a Wilton any material that has 3 rows of yarn (3 colors in one row) should be hand sewed. The reason being is that the buried yarn under the backside ride on the hard seam tape . This creates friction and eventiontally will wear through to the face. The Wilton in actuality would be harder to stretch in the lenght than a Velvet. Why? Alot more material in the row. Makes it stronger ,therefore in the velvet you will get more out of the lenght. Now speaking of Stretching what about Axminster. How the the materials stretch better in the lenght or width. What does the face yarn on Axminster resemble. Anyone know.
