The Minerva Core Range Luxury Viscose Jersey Stretch Knit is an ideal choice for dressmakers and crafters who prioritize comfort, drape, and versatility in their projects. Composed of 92% viscose and 8% elastane, this 250 gsm medium-weight fabric offers a soft touch and excellent recovery, making it perfect for everyday apparel; however, its inherent stretch means beginners should use a ballpoint needle and appropriate stitch settings to avoid skipped stitches or puckering during assembly.

While the fabric is durable, it is recommended to air dry or use low-heat tumble settings to extend the life of the elastane.
Yes, but it is recommended to practice on scraps first to get accustomed to the stretch and the required needle types.
No, orders are always cut as one continuous piece from the roll.
It is perfect for t-shirts, leggings, jersey dresses, skirts, and comfortable loungewear.
A serger (overlocker) is ideal for professional finishes, but a standard sewing machine with a stretch stitch works perfectly well.
This viscose jersey provides high-quality stretch, typically offering sufficient give in both directions for garment comfort.
Switch to a new ballpoint or stretch-specific needle and ensure your presser foot pressure is adjusted.
Reduce presser foot pressure and use a slightly wider zig-zag stitch or a dual-feed walking foot.
Lay the fabric flat on a stable surface for several hours before cutting to allow the tension to release.
To achieve professional results, set your sewing machine to a stretch stitch or a narrow zig-zag stitch to allow seams to expand with the fabric. Always use a ballpoint or stretch needle to prevent snagging the fibers.
