Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Minerva Core Range Polar Fleece projects, follow these guidelines:
- Pre-washing: Always pre-wash the fabric before cutting to account for any initial shrinkage.
- Cutting: Use sharp fabric shears or a rotary cutter. Because the pile is consistent, mark your pattern pieces on the reverse side to maintain alignment.
- Sewing: Use a medium-length stitch and a ballpoint needle if you find the machine skipping stitches on the thick pile. A walking foot is recommended for thicker seams.
- Washing: Machine wash at a maximum of 40 degrees Celsius. Avoid aggressive agitation to protect the pile.
- Drying: Air drying is highly recommended. If you must use a machine, use a low-heat, delicate cycle to prevent melting the synthetic fibers.
