The Minerva Core Range Delicate Lace Fabric in Turquoise is designed for sewists and fashion designers looking to add intricate floral texture to garments and accessories. This lightweight 47gsm fabric provides a sophisticated overlay that elevates bridalwear, dresses, and cosplay projects while remaining surprisingly crease-resistant. Please note that due to its delicate openwork construction, it requires careful handling during machine sewing and is best suited for layering over a base fabric rather than as a standalone garment.

This lace is generally stable and does not feature significant stretch, making it ideal for structured overlays.
Because of its openwork design, it is recommended to use this fabric as an overlay over a coordinating base fabric rather than as a standalone garment.
Use a low-heat setting on your iron and always use a pressing cloth to avoid direct contact between the lace and the metal plate.
While hand washing is recommended to preserve the delicate weave, a gentle cycle in a mesh laundry bag may be used with extreme caution.
Like most lace, the cut edges may fray. It is recommended to finish all raw edges with a zig-zag stitch, overlocker, or enclosed seams.
Place a piece of tissue paper or water-soluble stabilizer under the lace while sewing to create a smooth surface.
Use a French seam or trim the seam allowance closely and finish with a narrow zig-zag stitch.
Ensure you are using a fresh, sharp needle and consider switching to a walking foot to help feed the delicate fabric evenly.
When setting up your workspace, use a fine-gauge needle (such as a 60/8 or 70/10 universal or sharp needle) to ensure you do not pull the lace threads. We recommend using a stabilizer, such as water-soluble stabilizer, if you are performing embroidery or decorative stitching on the lace. For garment construction, always test your tension on a scrap piece. To care for this fabric, hand wash gently in cool water with a mild detergent and lay flat to dry to maintain the integrity of the floral pattern. Avoid wringing the fabric or using harsh heat settings on an iron; use a pressing cloth and low steam if necessary.
