Last night I tested a few different fusible stabilizers to try to get the extremely stretchy velvet to have the same stretch as Minky. It might be hard to tell, but by using the tricot fusible soft stretch bias stabilizer. I was able to get it to behave just like minky.

So now, my plushies can have that lovely velvet metallic look without having to go through the pain of adjusting the pattern to deal with the stretch difference. I hope this helps other people as I could not find a tutorial or information for such a thing so I took a gamble with some stabilizers in hopes of cutting back on the stretch. The photo is kind of bad, but the Velvet with the stabilizer is definitely super close to being the exact same size as the minky test. I think it only had about 1 or 2 cm stretch difference when measured but that's not really visible on the stuffed tests subject.

Now my infinite can have his metallic mask made with something a little more durable than metallic spandex which has the nasty habit of rubbing off...
