FAQs

Can I machine wash this fabric?

No, this fabric is suitable for dry cleaning only to protect the texture and floral design.

Is this fabric suitable for beginners?

Yes, its medium-weight stability makes it relatively easy to handle, provided you manage the raw edges.

What is the width of the fabric?

The fabric comes in a generous width of 155cm.

Does this fabric have any stretch?

No, this is a woven polyester brocade and does not have built-in stretch.

What kind of projects is it best for?

Does the yellow color bleed?

As a high-quality polyester, it is generally colorfast, but we always recommend dry cleaning as directed to maintain the finish.

Troubleshooting

Fabric fraying at the edges during construction

Apply a zigzag stitch or use an overlocker on all raw edges immediately after cutting your pattern pieces.

Needle skipping stitches

Check that you are using a new, sharp universal needle and verify that the presser foot pressure is correctly set for a medium-weight fabric.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your Minerva Core Range Nina fabric, follow these guidelines:

  1. Pre-treatment: While polyester is generally stable, consider a light steam press before cutting to ensure the weave is relaxed.
  2. Cutting: Use sharp fabric shears or a rotary cutter. Given the textured surface, ensure you are cutting on a flat, stable surface.
  3. Sewing: Use a standard polyester thread and a universal needle (size 80/12 is typically ideal).
  4. Pressing: Use a medium-low heat setting. Because this is a textured polyester, avoid excessive heat which could flatten the raised floral pattern.
  5. Cleaning: This fabric is strictly for dry cleaning. Do not attempt to machine wash, as this may damage the integrity of the woven structure.
