Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Minerva Luxury Viscose Jersey, follow these guidelines for setup and care:
- Needle Choice: Use a jersey or ballpoint needle (size 70/10 or 80/12) to prevent skipping stitches or damaging the fibers.
- Stitching: Use a narrow zig-zag stitch or a stretch stitch on your sewing machine to maintain the integrity of the fabric's stretch.
- Pre-washing: Always pre-wash your fabric before cutting, as viscose may have slight shrinkage. Wash at 40 degrees Celsius using a gentle cycle.
- Cutting: Lay the fabric flat on a cutting mat without stretching it; allow it to rest after unrolling to let the fibers relax before you place your pattern pieces.
