Velvet Seam-Pressing Needle Board, Made in Japan

High quality needle board for safely pressing seams in velvet fabric. Shaped like a sleeve form, the pressing surface is narrower on one end than the other. Made in Japan.

- 19" (48cm) Long
- 3 1/2" (9cm) Wide on the wider end
- 2 3/4" (7cm) Wide on the narrower end
And if you'd like this level of detail, here are a few more specifications: the needles are about 0.6mm thick, about 4mm tall (above the fabric), and about 2.5mm spacing on the diagonal. Made in Japan. 

Needle boards are the best way to achieve professional-looking flat seams in velvet. To use, lay your velvet nap-side down on the stainless steel needles, so that the toothy side of the velvet sinks into the needles and allows the iron to contact the backing fabric without flattening the nap.
