Helen Hart Momsen has 2 books:
Professional Embroidery Stitching by Design and Professional Embroidery
Business by Design. I think you can buy them through Barnes and Noble.

:It seems to me that velvet would also get crushed by the
:presser foot if it is down too low (think of all that pounding!).
:
:Also from Helen's book...use a sharp needle (70/10), polymesh
:or a soft cutaway, cover the fabric (on top) with a piece of
:backing or muslim to keep the velvet from getting hoop
:marks--then cut a window to expose the velvet to do your
:embroidery; velvet does show water marks so if you need to,
:use steam from the back to get out any wrinkles. Brush nap
:with a soft brush when finished (like with a child's
:toothbrush). Underlay should be a "pattern of crisscrossed
:loose density underlay that extends past the area of the
:design" -- use the same color as the garment and it will
:hardly show - or use a contrasting color and make the
:underlay part of the design.

:I'm liking these books!
