The Minerva Core Range Light Stretch Knit Lining Fabric is an essential choice for sewing enthusiasts looking to add professional comfort and structure to their handmade garments. Ideally suited for both stretch and non-stretch projects, this lightweight fabric features built-in anti-static properties and a soft texture that prevents clinging, though users should note that its lightweight 88gsm composition is best suited for providing interior structure rather than adding heavy-duty warmth.

Yes, it is excellent for non-stretch items as it provides a soft, non-clinging barrier without altering the hang of the garment.
Yes, we recommend pre-washing your fabric in the same way you intend to wash the finished garment to account for minor shrinkage.
It is better suited for lightweight to medium-weight jackets; it may be too light for heavy, structured winter coats.
The lightweight 88gsm construction is designed to be comfortable and breathable for standard garment lining applications.
You should use a fine, ballpoint needle (70/10 or 80/12) to prevent damaging the knit fibers.
Ensure you are using a sharp ballpoint needle and check your machine's throat plate for any burrs.
Reduce the presser foot pressure on your sewing machine and ensure the feed dogs are clean.
Use a walking foot or a piece of tissue paper underneath the fabric to provide extra traction.
For best results when working with this fabric, use a ballpoint or stretch needle to avoid snagging the knit structure. When sewing, a slight zig-zag stitch or a dedicated stretch stitch is recommended to maintain the integrity of the seams. For care, this fabric is machine washable, making it a low-maintenance choice for everyday clothing. It is advised to wash the fabric before cutting to account for any initial shrinking. Always use a cool to medium iron setting, and avoid excessive heat which could potentially damage the synthetic knit fibers.
