Deadstock Embroidered Lace Fabric Old Rose Pink - Minerva Exclusive

Deadstock fabric refers to leftover rolls of fabric that were not sold by a mill or brand. Using deadstock fabric is a sustainable choice as it prevents these materials from ending up in landfills.

While the fabric itself is beautiful, its delicate nature and limited supply might make it more suitable for intermediate sewers. Beginners may find it challenging to handle without snagging or damaging it. Practicing on a scrap piece is recommended.

Due to the nature of deadstock, availability is limited. Once this specific fabric is sold out, we cannot guarantee that more will be available. It is advisable to purchase the full amount needed for your project at once.

Store the fabric folded or rolled in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. To protect the embroidery and delicate fibers, consider wrapping it in acid-free tissue paper.

While we aim to provide as much detail as possible, the exact fiber content of deadstock fabrics can sometimes be difficult to ascertain definitively. It is always best to test a small swatch if precise composition is critical for your project.

This fabric is a delicate embroidered lace, generally not suitable for heavy-duty use like upholstery. It is best suited for apparel, accessories, and decorative accents where its fine texture and design can be showcased.

Ensure you are using a fine, sharp needle and appropriate thread. Slow down your sewing speed and consider using a walking foot. Test stitching on a scrap piece first.

Handle the fabric with care. If threads are loose, try gently securing them from the back with a few small hand stitches. Avoid excessive friction or pulling.

Always pre-wash or pre-treat fabric before cutting, even if just handling it. Use cool water and a gentle method. For future projects, factor in slight shrinkage.

Wash separately in cold water with a mild detergent. If bleeding occurs, rinse thoroughly and air dry immediately. For future washes, always wash this fabric alone.
