The Minerva Deadstock Luxury Super Soft Faux Fur Fabric is perfect for sewing enthusiasts and crafters looking to add high-quality, tactile texture to garments or home decor. Its primary benefit is the combination of a dense, deep-pile aesthetic with a striking aqua color, making it an excellent choice for statement projects; however, users should be aware that working with high-pile faux fur requires specific cutting and sewing techniques to manage shedding and thickness.

Yes, its heavyweight construction makes it suitable for coats, though it is best used for trims or as a panel material due to its dense pile.
No, you should never iron the fur side directly as the heat will melt the synthetic fibers. You may lightly steam from the back if necessary.
Use a sharp blade to cut only the fabric backing and avoid cutting through the fur pile itself.
We recommend spot cleaning only to maintain the integrity of the long-pile fibers.
A universal needle (size 90/14 or 100/16) is typically required to penetrate the heavy backing.
Run a narrow zigzag stitch along the raw edges or apply a light layer of fabric glue to prevent fibers from pulling away.
Use a walking foot attachment and reduce the pressure on your presser foot to prevent the thick pile from bunching.
Use a seam ripper or a fine needle to gently pull the trapped fur fibers out of the seam line once the sewing is complete.
When working with this fabric, always cut from the back side using a craft knife or a dedicated rotary cutter to avoid slicing through the fur fibers. Use a long stitch length on your sewing machine, and consider using a walking foot to help feed the thick layers through evenly. To care for your finished item, gently shake out loose fibers after assembly. If cleaning is required, spot clean with a damp cloth and mild detergent, avoiding high heat or direct ironing on the fur side, which can melt the synthetic fibers.
