The Minerva Core Range Glossy PVC Vinyl Fabric is a versatile, medium-weight material perfect for crafters and sewists looking for a smooth, wipe-clean finish for structured projects like bags, table covers, and costumes. Its 240gsm weight provides excellent stability, though users should be aware that the material is shipped folded, which may create temporary creases that require gentle management during your project preparation.

No, you should avoid using a standard iron on PVC as it will melt the surface. Use warm room temperature and gravity to smooth out folds.
It is water-resistant and durable, but prolonged exposure to direct sunlight may cause the glossy finish to degrade or discolor over time.
A sharp, universal needle or a specific leather/vinyl needle works best. Ensure it is sharp to minimize the size of the perforation.
No, machine washing is not recommended. Simply wipe the surface clean with a damp cloth.
Gently wipe the area with a cloth dampened with a very mild soapy solution. Avoid harsh solvents like acetone.
Use a Teflon or non-stick presser foot, or place thin tissue paper between the fabric and the machine and tear it away after sewing.
Allow the fabric to relax on a flat surface in a warm environment; do not use a standard clothing iron directly on the PVC.
Use wonder clips instead of pins to hold fabric layers together during construction to avoid permanent perforation.
To manage creases from shipping, lay the fabric flat in a warm room for several hours. Avoid applying heat directly to the vinyl, as it can melt or deform. Use clips instead of pins for marking your pattern, as pin holes will remain permanently visible in the PVC surface. For cleaning, use a damp cloth with mild soap; avoid harsh chemicals or solvents that might strip the glossy finish. When storing your fabric, roll it on a tube rather than folding it to prevent deep set-in lines.
