Velvet is an exquisite fabric associated with luxury. Woven typically from silk, it can also be made with other fibers to produce soft yet luxurious cloth that rests softly against the skin and displays an alluring sheen, adding further appeal. Furthermore, velvet can be enhanced further with embossed patterns on its surface for further aesthetic enhancement and use in clothing and upholstery design - this variety often being found as embossed velvet fabric.

Embossing velvet has been around since the 16th century when metal was heated and pressed against cloth fabric. Today, embossing velvet can be made much simpler and safer by using rubber stamps designed specifically for fabric embossing; be careful to select one designed for fabric as those designed for paper may melt under high heat. Also, before pressing down a stamp it is wise to spray velvet lightly with water prior to pressing, in order to prevent it sticking to iron irons or creating shiny spots which detract from engraving images engraved into velvet fabric thereby diminishing impact of an embossed image engraved into fabric fabric surface.

Embossed Velvet is often considered the epitome of luxury among other types of velvet, due to its more refined appearance and feel. Made of highly durable material that resists wrinkles, embossed velvet can easily be cut and sewn into garments for elegant apparel designs; however, care needs to be taken when washing and drying it regularly as velvet requires special treatment during this process.

Velvet can be found at specialty stores and fabric retailers; however, its primary use lies within clothing and home decor items like curtains and throw pillows. As it's made from natural fibers, velvet has an exquisitely soft surface and distinctive texture; highly absorbent, making it susceptible to stains and odors; it should only be washed in cold water with mild detergent as its unique dye will eventually fade over time.

Velvet can be dyed, but must be handled delicately to avoid damaging it. Cutting should follow the nap of the fabric when cutting it and it must always be dry cleaned after being cut or cut with scissors. Due to its susceptibility to static charges and brushing or rubbing causes lumpiness and misshapes. As velvet can also be damaged by heat sources like ironing shirts and pants with velvet fabrics pressed together using ironing machines such as those found at dry cleaners; pressing can cause this same dulling and misshaping effects when pressurised by presses used on velvet fabrics with or without naplines being followed when cutting it.
