The Minerva Core Range Sequin Tulle Net is an ideal choice for dressmakers and costume designers who need to add volume, structure, and decorative flair to their garments without significant weight. This lightweight, 20gsm fabric provides a delicate, airy aesthetic perfect for petticoats, veils, and overlays. While it is highly versatile for creative projects, users should be aware that the fine net structure requires careful handling during sewing to prevent snagging or distortion.

Yes, it is often used for flower girl dresses or costumes, but ensure there is a soft lining layer underneath to prevent the net from scratching the skin.
Yes, the airy structure is perfect for veils, though it has more texture than traditional bridal illusion tulle.
The fabric is supplied by the metre and is cut as a single continuous piece from the roll.
The structure is primarily stable due to the net design, providing minimal mechanical stretch.
While tulle generally does not shrink, a gentle hand rinse is recommended if you are concerned about dust or handling, but ensure you dry it flat.
Switch to a sharp, high-quality universal or microtex needle and ensure the needle plate is free of burrs.
Reduce the presser foot pressure if your machine allows, or use a piece of water-soluble stabilizer while sewing to keep the net flat.
When working with this fabric, use a fine-gauge sewing machine needle (such as size 70/10 or 80/12) to ensure the needle passes through the mesh without pulling at the fibers. Because it is a delicate net, consider using a zig-zag stitch or a narrow serged edge to prevent fraying.
To care for your finished projects, hand wash in cool water with a gentle detergent. Avoid wringing or twisting the fabric to protect the net structure. Lay flat to dry away from direct heat sources. If ironing is necessary, use a very low temperature setting with a pressing cloth to avoid melting the synthetic fibers.
