The Minerva Core Range Sequin Soft Velvet Stretch Knit is an ideal choice for fashion designers, costume makers, and hobbyists looking to create high-impact, professional-quality garments that demand movement and elegance. Its primary benefit lies in its luxurious aesthetic and substantial 650 gsm weight, providing a premium feel with excellent durability and crease resistance; however, users should be aware that the delicate nature of the sequins and velvet base requires careful handling, specifically through hand washing rather than machine cleaning.

While beautiful, the sequin-on-velvet composition can be slippery and tricky for complete novices; it is recommended for those with some experience working with stretch fabrics.
You should avoid direct ironing. If necessary, use a pressing cloth and apply steam from a distance, or press from the reverse side on a very low setting, ensuring you do not crush the velvet pile.
It is available to order by the metre and is cut as one continuous piece from the roll.
This fabric is designed primarily for dressmaking and costuming; it may not have the rub-count durability required for heavy-duty upholstery.
As a knit fabric, it features built-in stretch which is ideal for fitted garments, though the level of stretch is moderated by the weight of the sequins.
Use a ballpoint or stretch-specific needle and ensure you are using a walking foot if your machine supports it to manage the thickness.
Carefully remove the sequins along the seam allowance before stitching to allow the needle to pass through the velvet base without interference.
To ensure the longevity of your Minerva Sequin Soft Velvet, proper preparation is key. Because the fabric is cut from a continuous roll, measure your pattern pieces carefully before cutting. Use clips instead of pins to avoid damaging the velvet or pulling the sequins. For care, strictly follow the manufacturer's instruction to hand wash the finished item in cool water; do not tumble dry or iron directly on the sequins, as high heat can melt or deform the embellishments. Always store hanging to prevent crushing the velvet pile.
