Minerva Core Range Bamboo Cotton Jersey Stretch Knit Fabric - Black

Yes, it is a stable jersey, but it is recommended to use a walking foot or keep tension low to avoid stretching the fabric during construction.

It is sold by the metre and is cut as one continuous piece, regardless of how many metres you order.

While a serger produces a professional finish and is ideal for jersey fabrics, you can successfully sew this on a standard sewing machine using a zigzag or stretch stitch.

A ballpoint needle or a dedicated stretch needle is required to prevent holes and skipped stitches.

Washing at 30 degrees and avoiding excessive direct sunlight when drying will help maintain the deep black pigment.

This is a soft, drapey knit designed for clothing that follows the body's contours; it is not suitable for garments requiring rigid structure, like structured jackets or blazers.

Switch to a fresh ballpoint needle and ensure you are using a stretch-compatible stitch setting.

Use a light spray of starch or a temporary fabric stabilizer to stiffen the edges, then wash it out after the project is complete.

Reduce the presser foot pressure on your sewing machine or use a walking foot to prevent the fabric from stretching while it is being fed.
