Product Information

Full details

The Minerva Core Range Quilted Polycotton Fabric in Bottle Green is an ideal choice for garment makers, quilters, and crafters looking for a reliable, medium-weight textile that balances the breathability of cotton with the resilience of polyester. While its quilted structure provides excellent warmth and texture for projects like schoolwear and cushions, its specific weight may be too bulky for delicate, lightweight apparel construction.

Is this fabric suitable for clothing?

It has a medium weight of approximately 187gsm.

Can I use this for quilting?

Does the fabric shrink?

It is recommended to pre-wash the fabric as you would with any cotton-blend to account for minor shrinkage.

Troubleshooting

Needle skipping stitches

Change to a fresh universal or ballpoint needle and ensure you are using a slightly longer stitch length to accommodate the thickness.

Fabric layers shifting while sewing

Use a walking foot attachment to ensure the top and bottom layers feed evenly.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Resistant to creasing due to the polyester content
  • Easy to handle for beginners and experienced sewists alike
  • Provides built-in insulation for colder weather garments
  • Maintains shape well during heavy-duty crafting tasks

Cons

  • Not suitable for lightweight or sheer garment requirements
  • The quilted structure may limit certain types of intricate tailoring
  • Color may vary slightly between dye lots

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the best results, use a standard universal sewing needle (size 80/12 or 90/14) to accommodate the quilted layers. When cutting, ensure you have sharp shears to maintain clean edges, as the quilted texture can shift if the blade is dull. For care, it is recommended to wash the fabric in cool water to prevent any potential shrinkage and to tumble dry on a low setting. Always press with a warm iron if necessary, keeping the iron moving to avoid compressing the quilting loft.
