The Minerva Core Range Soft Veiling Tulle is designed for bridal designers, hobbyist dressmakers, and crafters looking for an airy, lightweight fabric that provides volume without unnecessary weight. Its primary benefit is the fine, open net structure that remains durable and fray-resistant, making it exceptionally easy to handle for intricate projects like bridal veils, petticoats, and occasionwear. However, users should note that due to its extremely sheer 15gsm weight, it requires careful handling and layering to achieve desired opacity or structure.

Silk White is a soft, standard bridal white that provides a clean, neutral base for most wedding attire.
Since tulle does not shrink like natural fibers, pre-washing is generally not required, but you may lightly steam it to remove any packaging creases.
Check your needle for burrs, switch to a smaller ballpoint needle (60/8), and ensure your needle plate is clean and free of roughness.
Adjust your machine tension to be slightly looser and use a longer stitch length to prevent the fabric from gathering unintentionally.
Increase the number of layers in your project to achieve the desired level of opacity or volume.
When working with this tulle, ensure your sewing machine needle is sharp—a size 60/8 or 70/10 ballpoint needle is recommended to prevent snagging the delicate mesh. Use a straight stitch for seams, and consider using a stabilizer or tissue paper underneath the fabric if you find the feed dogs are pulling the net.
Care instructions are straightforward: due to its delicate composition, hand-washing in cool water with a gentle detergent is recommended. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners and direct heat; always air dry away from direct sunlight to preserve the integrity of the net fibers.
