Setup, Compatibility & Care
When working with the Minerva Core Range Prada Stretch Woven Satin Crepe, ensure your machine is equipped with a clean, sharp universal needle (size 70/10 or 80/12 is typically ideal). Use a high-quality polyester thread to match the durable nature of the fabric.
Cutting Tips:
- Always align your pattern pieces consistently to ensure the one-way stretch is oriented correctly on the body.
- Use sharp, fine silk pins or fabric clips to avoid snagging the satin weave.
Care Instructions:
- Pre-wash the fabric as you would the finished garment to account for any initial shrinkage.
- Use a cool or lukewarm wash cycle.
- Hang to dry to maintain the integrity of the lustrous finish.
- If ironing is required, use a low-to-medium heat setting on the reverse side or use a pressing cloth to protect the surface sheen.
