Troubleshooting
Fabric fraying at the edges after cutting
Apply a zigzag stitch or a serger/overlock finish to all raw edges immediately after cutting your pattern pieces.
Creasing during the sewing process
Use a warm iron and a pressing cloth while sewing to keep your seams flat and sharp without distorting the fabric.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Minerva Organic Cotton Poplin, follow these best practices:
- Pre-washing: Always pre-wash your fabric before cutting, using the same settings you intend to use for the finished garment to account for minor shrinkage.
- Cutting: Use sharp shears or a rotary cutter. Given the 145cm width, lay your fabric flat on a large surface to ensure your pattern pieces are aligned correctly with the grainline.
- Sewing: Use a universal or microtex needle (size 70/10 or 80/12) for best results. This prevents snagging and ensures crisp seams.
- Care: Machine wash at 40 degrees Celsius. You can tumble dry on low or hang to dry; iron on a cotton setting to remove wrinkles and maintain the fabric's natural sheen.
