This Minerva Exclusive Secret Jungle pre-quilted reversible coating fabric is ideal for sewers looking to create warm, stylish outerwear and accessories with ease. Its key benefit is the built-in quilting and reversible design, offering two looks in one and excellent insulation. A potential caveat is its heavy weight, which requires appropriate sewing tools. This fabric combines a vibrant Secret Jungle print on one side with a matching plain sateen on the other, separated by a polyester wadding layer and secured with diamond quilting.

It is recommended to use a new, heavy universal needle, such as a size 90/14 or larger, to effectively sew through all three layers of the fabric.
Pre-washing is generally not recommended as it can affect the loft of the polyester wadding and potentially alter the quilting. Test on a small swatch if necessary.
Dry cleaning is the preferred method to maintain the fabric's structure and the integrity of the quilting. Gentle hand washing in cool water and laying flat to dry is an alternative, but avoid machine washing and high heat.
It is ideal for sewing coats, jackets, waistcoats, skirts, and also suitable for bags, cushions, and other home accessories where warmth and a quilted finish are desired.
The two outer layers are 100% cotton sateen, and the inner wadding layer is 100% polyester.
The fabric has a distinct printed design on one side and a solid matching color on the other. You can choose which side to use as the main 'right side' of your project, effectively creating two different looks.
With its heavy weight and quilted insulation, this fabric is best suited for cooler weather garments and accessories. It provides significant warmth.
Ensure you are using a new, heavy-duty needle (size 90/14 or larger) and that it is inserted correctly. Check your machine's tension settings.
Use a walking foot or even-feed foot on your sewing machine. Basting the layers together with a long stitch length or safety pins before sewing seams can also help.
Avoid machine washing and high heat drying. Hand wash in cool water gently if necessary, and lay flat to dry. Consider professional dry cleaning for best results.
Use sharp fabric shears or a rotary cutter with a fresh blade. Ensure you are cutting on a stable surface and press firmly.
When working with this fabric, it is recommended to use a new, heavy universal sewing machine needle (size 90/14 or larger) to ensure smooth penetration through all layers. A walking foot or even-feed foot can be highly beneficial for managing the multiple layers and preventing shifting during sewing. Pre-washing is generally not recommended for quilted fabrics as it can affect the loft of the wadding and potentially alter the quilting stitches. Instead, test a small swatch if you feel pre-washing is necessary. For care, dry cleaning is the preferred method to maintain the fabric's structure and the integrity of the quilting. If hand washing is attempted, use cool water and minimal agitation, then lay flat to dry. Avoid machine washing and high heat drying.
