The Minerva Core Range Scallop Edge Stretch Lace in Lilac is designed for dressmakers and hobbyists looking to add elegant, tactile details to their garment projects. Its primary benefit is the combination of a beautiful, intricate floral pattern with a delicate scallop edge, providing a professional finish to sleeves and overlays; however, users should note that the lightweight, 148 gsm nature of this stretch lace requires careful handling to prevent snagging during the sewing process.

It features a balanced stretch suitable for comfortable, fitted garments, but it is not a heavy compression fabric.
Yes, but due to the semi-sheer nature of the lace, you will likely need to pair it with a coordinating lining or slip.
The fabric is approximately 145cm in width.
It is recommended to air dry to protect the delicate lace texture and ensure the stretch fibers last longer.
The description specifies an intricate border design, typically found along the length of the fabric edges.
Switch to a new, sharp ballpoint needle and reduce the presser foot pressure if your machine allows.
Use a walking foot or a slight zig-zag stitch to accommodate the fabric's natural elasticity.
Apply a small amount of fray-check or use a narrow zig-zag stitch along the cut edge to secure the threads.
To prepare this fabric, ensure your machine is equipped with a fine ballpoint or stretch needle to minimize damage to the delicate weave. For care, this fabric is machine washable at 40 degrees Celsius. It is advisable to place the lace in a mesh laundry bag during the wash cycle to prevent the scallop edges from snagging on other items in the machine. Air drying is recommended to maintain the integrity of the stretch fibers over time.
