Thanks for the tip, it had never occured to me to use a substrate for the
cloth before. How do you do the edges? Do you wrap the cloth over the
edge, or does it just not show?

I did a silver chest for my wife with that same material into a
refinished mahogany box. I had made cardboard patterns for all of the
interior sides, for cutting the velour pattern, after all was test
fitted, I glued the velour to the cardboard with an ordinary white glue
and left it under some weight till dry, then glued the cardboard to the
wood. It is also easier to avoid wrinkles in the fabric this way.

I've used plain old white glue to get felt to stick to wood.
A thin coat, on the wood, was all it took along with some
pressure. Don't attempt to spread the glue on the fabric.

In the glue section at HD. Quite versatile product and applicator.
Black spray can with two nozzles. Open time explanation on label is
good."Bonds many foils, plastics, papers, foams, metala and carboard.
Low mist formula" on label.

I've never seen that before -- what type of glue is it? What kind of shop
would I find it in? Woodworking shop, hobby shop, office supply...?
