Setup, Compatibility & Care
As this is a fabric product, 'setup' refers to its preparation for sewing. It is recommended to pre-wash all Minerva Exclusive fabrics before cutting to account for any potential shrinkage, especially when choosing natural fiber bases like cotton or linen. Always follow the care instructions specific to the fabric base you select, as these will vary. For example, silk bases may require delicate hand washing or dry cleaning, while polyester bases might be machine washable. Compatibility is high across various sewing machines, but due to the delicate nature of lace and potential variations in fabric bases, using a finer needle suitable for the chosen material is advised. Always test stitching on a fabric scrap first. Handle the fabric gently during the cutting and sewing process to avoid snagging or damaging the embroidery.
