Product Information
Full details
The Minerva Deadstock Glitter Satin Lace Fabric in Ochre is an ideal choice for fashion designers and home sewers looking to add sophisticated texture to formal garments or delicate accents. This medium-to-heavyweight fabric offers impressive shape retention and crease resistance, making it perfect for structured overlays, yokes, and sleeves. While its intricate openwork design provides a stunning aesthetic, users should note that as a deadstock material, the specific bolt length is limited, meaning it is best suited for projects where matching dye lots across large surface areas is not required.

FAQs
Is this fabric stretchy?
This fabric is primarily stable due to its medium-to-heavyweight construction and does not typically feature significant stretch.
Does the fabric require an underlayer?
Yes, because of the openwork floral design, it is recommended to pair this with a lining or base fabric to provide coverage and enhance the aesthetic of the pattern.
Can I iron the right side of this fabric?
It is advised not to iron directly on the glitter surface as heat may cause damage or transfer. Always use a press cloth and iron from the back.
How should I finish the raw edges?
French seams or clean-finished bias binding are recommended to handle the texture of the openwork without creating excessive fraying.
Is this suitable for a beginner sewer?
While the fabric is beautiful, the openwork nature requires careful handling and finishing techniques that may be better suited for an intermediate level.
Troubleshooting
Fabric snagging during sewing
Check your needle for burrs and ensure your machine feed dogs are not too aggressive. Use a piece of stabilizer under the fabric if necessary.
Glitter particles shedding
Gently shake the fabric before cutting and use a vacuum to clear your workspace. Sealing the edges with a fray check or bias binding can help contain loose fibers.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
When preparing your project, always pre-treat your fabric by testing a small swatch for shrinkage or glitter loss. Use a sharp, high-quality universal needle (size 70/10 or 80/12) to minimize fabric puckering. Because this is a lace-style weave, it is recommended to use a french seam or bias-bound finish to secure raw edges effectively without causing excessive bulk. When sewing, lower your machine tension slightly to accommodate the thickness of the openwork. For care, hand washing in cool water with a gentle detergent is recommended to protect the integrity of the glitter application and the delicate floral structure. Avoid high-heat tumble drying or direct ironing on the glittered surfaces; instead, press carefully from the reverse side using a press cloth.
