The Minerva Core Range Heavy Cotton Jersey Stretch Knit in Teal is an ideal choice for garment makers seeking a durable yet comfortable fabric for everyday apparel, loungewear, or costumes. This 250-255gsm medium-to-heavy weight jersey provides excellent opacity and stability while retaining the natural breathability of cotton, though users should be mindful of its 8% elastane content which requires careful handling during machine sewing to prevent puckering.

Yes, its medium-to-heavy weight makes it more stable and easier to handle than lighter, thinner knits.
Yes, when ordering by the metre, the fabric is cut as a single continuous piece from the roll.
It is made of 92% cotton for comfort and 8% elastane for essential stretch and shape recovery.
The weight is suitable for leggings, though ensure your pattern is designed for the specific stretch percentage of this jersey.
As with all dyed fabrics, it is recommended to wash with color-safe detergents and wash similar colors together to maintain vibrancy.
Switch to a fresh ballpoint or jersey-specific needle and check that your presser foot pressure is set to low.
Reduce the presser foot pressure or use a walking foot attachment to prevent the fabric from stretching while passing under the needle.
Always pre-wash the entire cut of fabric in the same heat setting you plan to use for the finished garment before starting your project.
To ensure the best results, always pre-wash the fabric as you intend to wash the finished garment to account for potential initial shrinkage.
