FAQs

What does 'deadstock fabric' mean?

Deadstock fabric refers to leftover rolls of fabric from a mill or a brand's production run that have not been sold. Using deadstock fabric is a sustainable practice as it prevents these materials from ending up in landfills.

Why are these fabrics limited edition?

These fabrics are deadstock, meaning they are remnants. Once a particular roll is used up or sold out, it cannot be restocked because it was part of a specific past production batch.

Can I get more of a fabric if I run out?

Unfortunately, no. Due to the nature of deadstock, once a fabric is gone, it's gone forever. We cannot guarantee that we will be able to source the same fabric again.

What kind of projects is this Viscose Jersey best suited for?

Viscose Jersey Stretch Knit fabric is versatile and perfect for creating comfortable apparel like t-shirts, dresses, skirts, leggings, and loungewear due to its soft feel and excellent drape.

How can I be sure of the quality if it's deadstock?

Minerva sources deadstock from luxury design houses and high-end brands, ensuring that even though it's leftover, the quality meets premium standards. You are getting fantastic quality textiles.

Are there any guarantees on specific dye lots?

As these are deadstock fabrics from various sources, exact dye lot consistency cannot always be guaranteed across different batches or if you purchase over time. It is advisable to purchase enough fabric for your entire project at once.

Troubleshooting

Fabric seems to shrink significantly after washing.

Ensure you are using a cold wash cycle and avoiding high heat in the dryer. For future projects, pre-wash the fabric and allow it to air dry completely before cutting.

The fabric has a slight imperfection (e.g., small pull, slight color variation).

This can be a characteristic of deadstock fabrics. Carefully inspect the fabric before cutting and plan your pattern placement to work around minor flaws. Often, these are easily hidden in seams or folds.

Fabric is stretching out of shape while sewing.

Use a walking foot on your sewing machine to help feed the fabric evenly. Ensure your machine tension is correctly adjusted for knits and consider using a ballpoint needle to prevent skipped stitches.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

As this is a fabric product, there are no setup or compatibility requirements in the traditional sense. However, proper care ensures the longevity and beauty of your textile project.

Care Instructions:

  1. Pre-washing: Always pre-wash your fabric before cutting and sewing to account for any potential shrinkage, especially with natural fibers like viscose.
  2. Washing: Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with like colors. Use a mild detergent.
  3. Drying: Tumble dry on low heat or, preferably, lay flat or hang to dry to maintain fabric integrity and prevent stretching.
  4. Ironing: Use a cool iron setting. Iron on the reverse side of the fabric, especially if there's any embellishment or print. Avoid steam if unsure of fabric behavior.
