You may need more fabric for a project if it has nap. There is no set amount of extra fabric — it depends on how the pattern pieces fit together and the width of your fabric. Patterns from the Big 4 paper pattern companies often list the fabric requirements both with and without nap on the pattern envelope.
Cut all pattern pieces in the same direction unless you are using the nap as a feature. For fabrics that have a rough and a smooth direction, typically you want the fabric to feel smooth as you rub from top to bottom.
This is the way most people will smooth down their clothes. You can even use the nap as a design feature to color-block a garment whilst only using one fabric! Some sewing patterns include separate layout drawings for fabric with and without nap. This should also be used for directional fabric. Positioning fabric pieces together can be tricky for fabric with nap. It can slide easily in one direction and grip like Velcro in the other, making it difficult to get seams to line up.
If you are cutting out a fabric with a nap it is important that all the pattern pieces face the same direction. Depending on the design, this may take more fabric than cutting non-directional fabrics. The majority of sewing patterns will have a pattern layout diagram especially for fabric with a nap.
As a general rule, all the pile should run down the body from the shoulders to the feet so it feels smooth to touch if you ran your hand down the garment. Faux fur is the easiest to visualize this with. You would want the fur pile to go down your body. You may need to flip a pattern piece over to the back in order for all of them to face the same direction.
When you are cutting double fabric, it doesn't matter if the pattern piece is flipped so the back of the pattern is facing up. See how one side looks lighter than the other. In addition, if you run your hand over the fabric join, one side would be smooth and the other would be rough. Some fabrics have a more pronounced difference than others of course, depending on the length of the pile and sometimes the color of the fabric. When cutting napped fabric with a pile, it is important to use sharp scissors so you get accurate pattern sizing and edges that are not burred and more likely to fray.
A rotary cutter can make cutting easier but you will need a cutting mat as well. After cutting out the fabric with a nap, there is no difference from regular fabric when it comes to the sewing process. Sew the fabric according to its type, choosing seams, needles and threads to suit.
For fabrics with a long pile, you may need to trim the edges within the seam allowance to make sewing easier. I have not made this yet so I cannot rate it.
