The Minerva Core Range Bamboo Jersey Stretch Knit is an ideal choice for dressmakers and hobbyists looking for a versatile, comfortable foundation for apparel projects like T-shirts, loungewear, and dresses. Comprised of 95% bamboo and 5% elastane, this 230 gsm fabric provides a luxurious, smooth hand-feel and excellent recovery, though beginners should be mindful of the fabric's natural tendency to shift during cutting and sewing due to its high stretch content.

It is recommended to air dry this bamboo jersey to preserve the integrity of the elastane and fiber softness.
It is a great fabric for those learning to sew knits, provided you use the correct needle and stabilizers when necessary.
Yes, when ordering multiple metres, your order is cut as one continuous piece.
This is a medium-weight jersey at 230 gsm, which is ideal for a variety of year-round garments.
Yes, a walking foot is highly recommended to help feed the top and bottom layers of the fabric evenly through the machine.
Switch to a fresh ballpoint or jersey-specific needle to properly penetrate the knit loops.
Adjust your machine's presser foot pressure or use a walking foot to feed the fabric evenly.
Avoid lifting the fabric off the table while cutting; use a rotary cutter and mat to keep the fabric stable.
To ensure your project remains in peak condition, pre-wash the fabric using the same method you intend to use for the finished garment—a gentle 30-degree machine wash is recommended. Because the fabric is cut from the roll, always check your tension settings on a scrap piece of the same fabric before beginning your main project. When ironing, use a low to medium heat setting to avoid scorching the bamboo fibers. Store folded rather than hung to prevent the fabric from stretching out under its own weight over time.
