This Minerva Loop Back French Terry Stretch Knit fabric in Biscuit is ideal for home crafters seeking a versatile and comfortable material for apparel and accessories. Its key benefit is the blend of cotton and lycra, offering both softness and stretch. A potential caveat is that it's sold by the metre, so larger projects may require ordering multiple units.

This fabric is ideal for comfortable apparel such as sweatshirts, hoodies, loungewear, t-shirts, and children's clothing due to its stretch and soft feel.
It is recommended to wash the fabric at 40 degrees Celsius. Avoid high heat when drying.
Yes, the fabric is OEKO-TEX certified, meaning it is tested for harmful substances and is considered safe for skin contact, making it suitable for baby clothing.
It means you can order the fabric in lengths of one metre. The fabric will be cut as a continuous piece regardless of how many metres you order.
A ballpoint or stretch needle is recommended when sewing this knit fabric to prevent snagging or damaging the fibers.
The fabric has a medium weight of 250 gsm (grams per square meter).
While primarily designed for apparel, its medium weight and drape could make it suitable for some light home decor items like cushion covers, but it is best suited for clothing.
Ensure you are using a ballpoint or stretch needle. Sew with consistent, gentle tension and avoid stretching the fabric as you feed it through the machine.
Adjust your sewing machine's tension settings. A slightly lower tension on the top thread or a higher tension on the bobbin may help. Ensure your stitch length is appropriate for knits (e.g., a zigzag stitch or a specific knit stitch).
Ensure you are washing at the recommended 40 degrees. Over-drying or using harsh detergents can affect the fabric's softness. Consider a fabric softener on the final rinse if needed.
Wash the fabric separately for the first few washes, especially if it's a dark or vibrant color, to check for any excess dye.
