The Minerva Core Range Sheer Chiffon Stretch Knit Mesh is designed for garment makers and crafters who need a lightweight, airy fabric for elegant overlays, flutter sleeves, and dimensional skirts. It offers a soft, floaty texture and exceptional durability due to its 100% polyester composition, making it a reliable choice for delicate projects. While its sheer nature is perfect for layering, users should be aware that it requires a coordinating base fabric or lining to ensure complete opacity in garments.

Yes, this is a stretch knit mesh, meaning it has a degree of mechanical give that makes it comfortable and easy to drape.
Yes, due to its sheer, transparent nature, it is highly recommended to pair this with a lining fabric for wearable clothing.
Absolutely. Its lightweight and floaty nature makes it an excellent choice for decorative scarves and wraps.
You can iron it on a low-heat setting, but the fabric is naturally crease-resistant, so minimal ironing is usually required.
It is sold by the metre and will be cut as one continuous piece from the roll based on the length ordered.
This fabric weighs 70gsm, classifying it as a lightweight dressmaking material.
Ensure your needle is new and sharp. If snags persist, use a fine tissue paper under the fabric while sewing to stabilize the feed.
Adjust your machine's thread tension to be slightly looser and ensure the fabric is not being pulled or stretched as it enters the presser foot.
Since this is a mesh knit, it shouldn't fray like woven fabric, but for a clean finish, use a serger or a narrow zigzag stitch on all raw edges immediately after cutting.
To ensure the best results, use fine, sharp needles (such as a size 70/10 universal or stretch needle) to avoid snagging the mesh structure. When sewing, use a walking foot if possible to prevent the fabric from stretching or slipping under the presser foot. For seams, a narrow zigzag stitch or a serged finish is recommended to maintain the fabric's slight stretch.
