FAQs
Is this fabric pre-shrunk?
No, it is recommended that you wash the fabric according to the instructions for your specific base before sewing to account for any potential shrinkage.
Can I choose any fabric base for this print?
The print is available on a selection of fabric bases curated by Minerva specifically for their suitability for dressmaking and apparel.
Why is this print-on-demand?
Print-on-demand ensures high-quality reproduction and allows for a wider variety of unique designs without requiring massive warehouse inventory.
How long will my order take to arrive?
Because each piece is custom printed to order, please check the current production lead times on the product page, which may be longer than standard shipping.
Is the Safari Park print available in different colorways?
Minerva Exclusive designs are typically provided as seen in the catalog; please refer to the product page for any available variations.
Can I use this for quilting?
While intended for apparel, many of the cotton bases are suitable for quilting if the weight matches your project needs.
Troubleshooting
Fabric edges fraying before project completion
Use a zigzag stitch or a serger/overlock machine to finish the raw edges immediately after cutting your pattern pieces.
Pattern alignment mismatch
Take time to 'fussy cut' your pattern pieces, laying them out on a flat surface to match the Safari Park motifs across the front and side seams.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before beginning your sewing project, ensure the fabric is pre-washed according to the specific care instructions for your chosen base. Treat the fabric as a delicate textile: wash with like colors in cool water to preserve the vibrancy of the print. When ironing, always press on the reverse side or use a pressing cloth to protect the surface of the design. For compatibility, ensure you select the appropriate needle type for your chosen base—such as a universal needle for cotton or a ballpoint needle for jersey bases—to prevent snagging or distortion of the print during the stitching process.
