The Minerva Core Range Block Textured Stretch Knit Fabric is a versatile choice for sewing enthusiasts looking for a medium-weight, sustainable material that balances structure with comfort. Designed for projects like dresses, tops, and loungewear, this fabric features a distinct geometric texture and vibrant neon pink hue that adds visual interest to any garment. While its stretch provides excellent fit and shape retention, sewers should be prepared to work with a knitted handle that requires specific needle choices to avoid snagging or skipped stitches during construction.

Yes, it is very stable compared to thinner jerseys, making it a great entry point for those new to sewing with stretch knits.
The knit construction typically provides a four-way stretch, making it very comfortable for fitted garments.
It is recommended to line dry this fabric to maintain the texture and color vibrancy, as high-heat tumble drying can damage the fibers.
A narrow zig-zag stitch or a dedicated stretch stitch is essential to ensure seams maintain the necessary elasticity.
Yes, due to the 270gsm weight and dense texture, it offers excellent opacity for most garment types.
Deadstock fabrics are high-quality, leftover materials from major production houses that would otherwise go to waste.
Switch to a ballpoint or stretch-specific needle to better penetrate the knit structure without damaging fibers.
Reduce the presser foot pressure if your machine allows, or use a walking foot to prevent the fabric from stretching while passing under the needle.
Use a light starch or stabilizer along the cut edges before assembly to keep the fabric flat during the cutting and sewing process.
To ensure the best results, always pre-wash the fabric according to care instructions to account for any initial shrinkage. Use a ballpoint or stretch-specific needle (size 75/11 or 80/12) to prevent damage to the knit fibers. A polyester thread with a slight amount of stretch is recommended for all seams to prevent thread breakage during movement. When pressing, use a low to medium heat setting and a pressing cloth to protect the geometric texture from flattening. For long-term care, machine wash at 40C and line dry away from direct sunlight to preserve the neon pigment.
