Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Minerva Core Range Pebble Textured Stretch Woven Crepe, follow these guidelines:
- Pre-washing: Always pre-wash your fabric in the same manner you intend to wash the finished garment to account for any initial shrinkage.
- Cutting: Use sharp, high-quality shears or a rotary cutter. Because the fabric has a tendency to slide, place it on a stable surface and use pattern weights to hold the grainline in place.
- Sewing: Use a ballpoint or stretch needle to accommodate the fabric's elasticity and prevent skipped stitches. Test your tension on a scrap piece before beginning the main project.
- Maintenance: Machine wash at 40 degrees. Avoid harsh bleaching agents to preserve the integrity of the light blue dye. Lay flat or hang to dry to maintain the crepe texture.
