Minerva Core Range Soft Touch Crepe Fabric - Turquoise

Yes, it is very manageable, though it can be a bit slippery. Using plenty of pins or pattern weights helps during the cutting process.

Depending on the color and the intended garment, it may be sheer enough to require a lightweight lining or a slip underneath.

It is recommended to air dry to extend the life of the fabric, but if necessary, use a very low heat setting.

Because the fabric can fray, finish your seams with a zigzag stitch or an overlocker/serger for a professional look.

We recommend purchasing all the fabric needed for a single project in one order to ensure you receive the same dye lot.

Polyester is generally colorfast and shrink-resistant, but it is always good practice to pre-wash your fabric using the same method you plan to use for the finished garment.

Use pattern weights instead of pins, or place a piece of tissue paper underneath the fabric when cutting to provide stability.

Check your machine tension and consider using a slightly longer stitch length to accommodate the fluid nature of the fabric.

Ensure your needle is new and sharp. A blunt needle is the primary cause of snags in polyester crepe.
