FAQs
Is this fabric suitable for beginners?
While the fabric is beautiful, its openwork construction requires patience and careful handling, making it better suited for intermediate sewists.
Can this lace be machine washed?
Hand washing is highly recommended to maintain the integrity of the corded design and prevent snagging.
Does the fabric come with any stretch?
This is a structured corded lace and does not feature inherent stretch, so plan your garment ease accordingly.
What kind of lining should I use?
A lightweight silk, satin, or voile that matches the beige tone is usually the best choice to provide opacity while maintaining a high-end feel.
Can I use a regular iron on this lace?
Use a cool iron with a pressing cloth between the iron and the lace to avoid melting the fibers or flattening the raised corded details.
Troubleshooting
Fabric snagging during sewing
Use a fresh, sharp needle and ensure your sewing machine throat plate is clean and free of burrs.
Difficulty keeping the lace straight
Use silk pins and stay-stitch the edges if necessary to prevent the openwork from stretching out of shape during assembly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
When working with Minerva Chantilly Corded Lace, use a sharp, fine-point needle to prevent pulling the delicate threads. Because of the openwork nature, it is recommended to use a backing or lining fabric to ensure structural integrity and garment opacity.
Care Instructions:
- Hand wash in cool water with a gentle detergent to preserve the cording.
- Do not wring or twist the fabric; gently squeeze to remove excess water.
- Lay flat to dry on a clean towel.
- Use a cool iron, preferably with a pressing cloth, to avoid damaging the synthetic fibers or distorting the lace pattern.
