Full details

This Minerva Exclusive Satin Fabric, featuring the 'Pollen Clouds' design, is ideal for dressmakers and apparel creators looking for a unique, high-quality fabric.

FAQs

What does 'Print On Demand' (POD) mean for my order?

'Print On Demand' means your specific fabric design and base are printed only after you place your order. This ensures a fresh print but requires additional time for production before shipping.

How do I choose the right fabric base for my project?

Consider the intended use of your garment. For flowing dresses, choose silks or viscose. For structured items like trousers or skirts, cottons, linens, or stable polyesters might be better. For stretch garments, select a knit base. Review the descriptions of each fabric base offered.

Can I order a sample of the fabric?

Sample availability will depend on Minerva's offerings for this exclusive print and fabric base combinations. Please check the product page for sample options.

What is the width of the fabric?

The width of the fabric will vary depending on the specific fabric base selected. Please refer to the detailed specifications for each fabric base on the product page.

How is the fabric sold?

This fabric is sold by the metre. You can select the length you require when placing your order.

How should I pre-wash this fabric before sewing?

Pre-washing methods depend entirely on the chosen fabric base. It is highly recommended to pre-wash your fabric according to the care instructions for that specific base to account for any potential shrinkage and to remove any finishing agents.

Troubleshooting

Delivery time is longer than expected.

This is a Print On Demand (POD) fabric. Please allow for additional processing and printing time beyond standard shipping estimates. Check your order confirmation for estimated delivery timelines.

Fabric doesn't drape as expected.

The drape is determined by the fabric base chosen. Ensure you selected a base known for the desired drape (e.g., silk charmeuse for fluidity). If unsure, consult the product description for the chosen base fabric.

Print quality seems lower than anticipated.

Ensure you have viewed the design at its intended print size and resolution. Minor variations can occur, but significant issues should be reported to customer service with photographic evidence.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: As this is a fabric, there is no technical setup required. Simply choose your desired fabric base and size when ordering.

Compatibility: This fabric is designed for apparel and dressmaking projects. Compatibility depends on the chosen fabric base; for example, knits are suitable for stretch garments, while wovens like cotton or linen are ideal for structured items. Always refer to the specific properties of the selected fabric base for project suitability.

Care: Care instructions will vary significantly based on the chosen fabric base. For instance:

  • Silks: Typically require dry cleaning or gentle hand washing with mild detergent in cool water.
  • Cottons/Linens: Can often be machine washed on a gentle cycle with cool or warm water and mild detergent. Ironing on a medium to hot setting is usually appropriate.
  • Viscose: Often benefits from hand washing or a gentle machine cycle with cool water to prevent shrinkage or damage. Iron on a low to medium setting.
  • Polyesters: Generally durable and can be machine washed. Iron on a low setting to avoid melting.
  • Knits: May require hand washing or a delicate machine cycle to maintain shape. Iron on a low setting.

Always check the specific care label or recommendation for the chosen fabric base before washing or ironing to ensure longevity of the print and fabric.
