The Minerva Core Range Printed Polycotton Fabric in Emerald is an ideal choice for garment makers, quilters, and crafters looking for a reliable, lightweight textile that balances the breathability of cotton with the crease-resistance of polyester. This fabric is perfectly suited for beginners and experienced sewists alike who need a versatile material for dressmaking, shirts, and home decor, though those seeking heavy-duty upholstery or extreme heat-resistant properties should consider alternative, heavier-weight fabrics.

Yes, its stable woven structure makes it very easy to pin, cut, and sew for those new to dressmaking.
Like most cotton blends, it may experience minimal shrinkage. We recommend pre-washing before sewing your project.
Yes, its durable polyester-cotton blend is ideal for school shirts and other garments that require frequent washing.
A standard universal needle in size 70/10 or 80/12 is typically the best choice for this weight of fabric.
At 97gsm, it is relatively lightweight, so you may consider lining if you are sewing a garment that requires total opacity.
Ensure you are using a sharp universal needle and that the fabric is properly stabilized.
Use a serger or a zig-zag stitch on the raw edges immediately after cutting to prevent unravelling.
To ensure the best results, always pre-wash your fabric to account for minor shrinkage. Use a universal sewing machine needle (size 70/10 or 80/12) for best results with this medium-light weight. Since the fabric contains polyester, use a medium-heat iron and avoid direct contact with extremely hot surfaces to prevent melting. The fabric is durable enough for machine washing; however, avoid high-heat tumble drying to extend the life of the print and the integrity of the fibers.
