Product Information

Full details

The Minerva Core Range Stretch Power Net Mesh Fabric is an essential material for garment makers, cosplayers, and crafters who require a versatile, breathable foundation for structural panels or pockets. This 125 gsm fabric offers excellent four-way stretch and impressive shape retention, making it ideal for sports apparel and costume design. However, due to its open mesh structure, users should be mindful that it is sheer and requires careful handling to avoid snagging on sharp objects during the sewing process.

FAQs

Is this fabric suitable for activewear?

Yes, its breathability and four-way stretch make it an ideal choice for sports panels and gym wear.

Does the fabric fray easily?

While the mesh structure is stable, it is recommended to finish seams with a serger or a zig-zag stitch to ensure a professional, secure edge.

Can I use this for full-garment projects?

Yes, but because the fabric is sheer, you will likely need to pair it with a lining or use it as an overlay.

What is the best way to cut this mesh?

Use a rotary cutter on a self-healing mat for the cleanest lines, or use sharp scissors, taking care not to pull on the mesh structure.

Is it sold as a single piece?

Yes, the fabric is sold by the metre and will be delivered as one continuous length cut from the roll.

Troubleshooting

Stitches are skipping while sewing

Switch to a stretch or ballpoint needle and ensure your thread tension is slightly loosened to accommodate the fabric's stretch.

Fabric is snagging during construction

Ensure your sewing table is clean and free of rough edges; use sharp shears for cutting to prevent pulling at the mesh grid.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your projects, follow these standard care guidelines:

  1. Washing: Machine wash at 40 degrees Celsius to maintain fabric elasticity and cleanliness.
  2. Sewing Tips: Use a ballpoint or stretch needle to prevent skipped stitches. If possible, use a zig-zag or stretch stitch setting on your sewing machine to maintain the integrity of the seams.
  3. Pressing: Use a low-heat setting only. Avoid direct contact with a hot iron, as the synthetic fibers are heat-sensitive and may melt.
  4. Storage: Store flat or loosely rolled to prevent snagging on hooks or other sharp hardware in your workspace.
