Minerva Heavy Polyester Viscose Suiting Fabric - Check Design 51

It is beginner-friendly in terms of handling, though matching the check pattern adds an extra layer of complexity to the construction process.

This fabric is a woven suiting with no added elastane, so it does not have mechanical stretch.

Yes, all orders are cut as one continuous piece from the bolt.

Yes, its durability and classic check pattern make it an excellent choice for skirts, blazers, or trousers.

While it has enough body to be unlined for some projects, lining is recommended for jackets and trousers to improve comfort and longevity.

Use a sharp rotary cutter or fabric shears on a flat surface, ensuring the grainline is perfectly straight before cutting your pieces.

Ensure you are using a fresh Universal needle and that the tension is correctly balanced for a medium-weight fabric.

Check your stitch length; a slightly longer stitch length (approx 2.5mm to 3mm) is often better for medium-weight suiting.

Use plenty of pins or clips to secure the fabric before sewing, and align the check pattern manually at every seam intersection.
