It’s laminated I guess for lack of a better adjective. There are 3 layers: velour, 1/2” foam, and a special material that is ironed onto the foam. I don’t know what the last layer is called, but it’s like a white silk screen. Basically it helps the foam slip through the sewing machine without sticking or hanging up. The pleats were really hard for me as I am an amateur. My lines are crooked. Keeping the material taught while running through the machine while also trying to keep a straight line was very challenging.
