Deadstock Suede Scuba Stretch Knit Fabric Camel - Minerva Exclusive

Deadstock fabric refers to leftover rolls of fabric that were not sold by a mill or manufacturer. It's a sustainable way to utilize materials that might otherwise go to landfill.

While the fabric has good stretch, its unique texture and potential for limited stock may require a bit more care. Beginners should test techniques on scraps first. Its excellent drape makes it rewarding to work with.

Yes, but with caution. It's best to iron on the wrong side (the scuba knit side) using a low heat setting. Avoid direct heat on the suede-like surface, or use a pressing cloth for protection.

This is a limited edition deadstock fabric. Once the available quantity is sold, it cannot be restocked. It's advisable to purchase enough for your project in one go.

It's ideal for fashion garments like skirts, dresses, trousers, and jackets, as well as accessories such as handbags and hats. Its unique texture also lends itself to unique home decor accents.

The suede-like finish requires gentle care. Hand washing or a delicate machine cycle in cold water is recommended. Avoid harsh detergents. Air drying is best.

This is a stretch knit fabric, offering significant elasticity, which makes it comfortable for garments and allows for ease of movement.

Ensure you are using the correct needle type (ballpoint or stretch) and that it is not damaged. Reduce sewing machine speed. For existing pilling, a fabric shaver might help, but test on a scrap first.

Use a walking foot or roller foot on your sewing machine. Ensure your tension is correctly balanced. Consider using tissue paper underneath or stabilizer on top if issues persist, though test first.

Always pre-wash fabric separately in cold water before use. If color transfer is a significant concern, consider spot cleaning or professional dry cleaning.

Use a stretch stitch or zig-zag stitch. Ensure you are not stretching the fabric as you feed it through the machine. Use a slower speed and appropriate needle.
