Minerva Exclusive Animal Glow Pre Quilted Reversible Coating Fabric - PQDTS1-M00004

The primary advantage is its reversible, pre-quilted design, offering two distinct looks (printed and plain) in one fabric, plus built-in warmth from the polyester wadding.

Due to its heavyweight (365 gsm) and quilted nature, it's best suited for outerwear, bags, and home decor items that benefit from warmth and structure, rather than very light or drapey clothing.

A standard sewing machine should work, but one with a strong motor is beneficial. Using a walking foot can also help feed the multiple layers evenly.

It's best to hand wash or machine wash on a gentle cycle at a low temperature (30°C). Air dry flat or tumble dry on low heat. Iron on a medium-low setting on the reverse side.

The two outer sateen layers are 100% cotton, and the inner wadding layer is 100% polyester.

Yes, the fabric is designed to be fully reversible. You can choose to have the Animal Glow print on the outside with a plain interior, or the plain side on the outside with the print as a lining.

Ensure you are using a new, heavy-duty universal needle (size 90/14 or 100/16) and that your machine's tension is correctly set for multiple layers.

Try using a slightly longer stitch length and ensure you are not pulling the fabric taut as it feeds through the machine. A walking foot attachment may help.

Use a seam ripper to carefully clip the corners diagonally before turning. For bulky seams, consider grading (trimming layers to different widths) before turning.

While designed for structure, if too stiff, consider using it for projects where structure is beneficial, like bags or outerwear, rather than very drapey garments.
