FAQs

What projects is this fleece best suited for?

This fleece is ideal for cozy blankets, throws, cushion covers, dressing gowns, loungewear, pet beds, and soft toys due to its plush texture and warmth.

Can I order a specific length other than by the metre?

The fabric is sold by the metre. It will be cut as one continuous piece regardless of the number of metres ordered.

How do I clean this fabric?

It is recommended to wash the fabric at 40 degrees Celsius. Avoid bleach and high heat tumble drying. A low-heat iron can be used if necessary.

Is this fabric suitable for beginners?

Yes, this fleece is generally easy to cut and sew, making it suitable for crafters of all skill levels. Its medium weight is manageable.

What is the weight of this fabric?

The fabric weighs 265 gsm (grams per square meter), indicating a medium to heavy weight, which contributes to its warmth and coziness.

Does the fabric come in other colors?

This specific product variant is black. Other colors may be available in the Minerva Core Range, but this guide pertains only to the black variant (MT-9772-69).

How wide is the fabric?

The fabric has an approximate width of 150cm, which is equivalent to 60 inches.

Troubleshooting

Fabric fraying at edges

Use a rotary cutter or sharp fabric scissors for clean cuts. Consider a zig-zag stitch or overlocking the raw edges if the project requires it, though fleece typically doesn't fray excessively.

Static cling during cutting or sewing

Lightly mist the fabric with water using a spray bottle or use an anti-static spray before cutting. Ensure your sewing machine is properly grounded.

Stitching issues (skipped stitches, puckering)

Use a universal needle size 80/12 or 90/14. Ensure your thread tension is correctly balanced. A walking foot can help feed the layers evenly.

Embossed pattern is flattened after washing

Gently shake out the fabric after washing. Avoid high heat tumble drying. If needed, use a low-heat iron without steam, placing a pressing cloth between the iron and the fabric.
