Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Minerva Core Range cotton, follow these preparation and maintenance guidelines:
- Pre-washing: Always wash your fabric before cutting. As a natural fiber, cotton is subject to slight shrinkage; washing at the recommended 40 degrees mimics the final care environment.
- Cutting: Use sharp fabric shears or a rotary cutter. Because poplin has a stable weave, it is unlikely to shift, but utilizing pattern weights will help ensure accuracy.
- Needle Selection: Use a Universal needle (size 70/10 or 80/12) to prevent visible puncture holes in the tight weave.
- Care: Machine wash at 40 degrees. To minimize wrinkles, remove from the dryer while slightly damp and press with a steam iron on a cotton setting.
