The Minerva Core Range Luxury Viscose Jersey Stretch Knit is designed for sewists seeking a high-quality, versatile fabric for comfortable everyday garments like T-shirts, dresses, and loungewear. It offers excellent drape, soft texture, and reliable stretch recovery, making it ideal for fluid silhouettes; however, sewists should note its medium-to-heavyweight nature, which requires appropriate needle selection to prevent skipped stitches.

Yes, but due to its soft nature, it can be slightly slippery. Pinning generously or using a walking foot will make the sewing process easier.
While an overlocker (serger) provides a professional finish, you can achieve excellent results using a domestic sewing machine with a stretch stitch.
The fabric is 155 cm wide.
It is recommended to air dry flat to maintain the fabric's drape and prevent unnecessary heat damage to the viscose fibers.
Yes, orders are cut from the roll as one continuous piece.
It means the fabric has been tested and certified to be free from harmful levels of chemicals, making it safe for human use.
Switch to a new ballpoint or stretch needle and ensure you are using a stretch-appropriate stitch pattern.
Use a light touch of starch or increase the seam allowance slightly, then trim back after stitching to stabilize the edges.
To prepare the fabric, pre-wash it at 40 degrees as you would the finished garment to account for any initial shrinkage. When cutting, ensure the fabric is laid flat and not stretched on the table to avoid pattern distortion. Use a sharp, fresh ballpoint needle (size 70/10 or 80/12) for the best results. For aftercare, machine wash at 40 degrees and air dry flat whenever possible to preserve the integrity of the viscose fibers and prevent unnecessary agitation.
