The Minerva Core Range Heavy Cotton Fleece Fabric is an ideal choice for dressmakers and DIY enthusiasts looking for a high-quality, durable, and natural textile for cozy apparel and home accessories. It offers exceptional insulation and long-lasting softness due to its 100% cotton composition and 340gsm weight, making it perfect for cold-weather garments like sweatshirts and loungewear. However, potential users should note that as a heavy-weight fabric, it requires a sturdy sewing machine needle to handle multiple layers during construction.

Switch to a fresh needle, preferably a ballpoint or stretch needle, and ensure you are using a slightly longer stitch length.
Use a zigzag stitch or an overlocker/serger to finish all raw edges immediately after cutting.
Always pre-wash and dry your fabric using the method you intend to use for the finished garment to pre-shrink the fibers.
To ensure the longevity of your Minerva Core Range fleece projects, pre-wash the fabric before cutting to account for any natural fiber contraction. When sewing, use a sharp, medium-to-heavy gauge needle (such as a 90/14 or 100/16 Universal or Jersey needle) to penetrate the dense fibers easily. Use a slightly longer stitch length to prevent puckering. For care, wash the finished items on a gentle cycle in cool water and tumble dry on a low setting or hang to dry to preserve the soft finish of the cotton fibers.
