Minerva Crafts Fabric - Pebble Stone

Twill is a type of woven fabric characterized by its diagonal parallel ribs, produced by displacing a weft or warp thread one or more places. It is known for its durability and diagonal pattern.

This means the fabric is priced and sold in units of one linear metre. If you need 2.5 metres, you would typically order '2.5' units.

While durable, its suitability for upholstery depends on the specific item and wear. It's excellent for cushions or light-use items, but may not be robust enough for high-traffic seating without additional reinforcement or a specific upholstery-grade finish.

It is ideal for garments requiring structure like trousers and skirts, durable accessories such as bags, and sturdy home decor items like cushion covers.

Yes, twill fabric is generally easy to work with for beginners. Its stability makes it less likely to shift or stretch unpredictably compared to lighter or more slippery fabrics.

Minerva Crafts offers a range of other fabrics. You can explore their 'Minerva Core Range' and 'Minerva Exclusives' sections for similar twill or other fabric types.

Iron this fabric on a medium heat setting. Avoid using a very hot iron, especially if the fiber content is unknown or delicate.

Ensure you are using a sharp pair of fabric scissors or a rotary cutter. Consider using a pinking shears for edges that won't be sewn or finished.

Check that your machine is threaded correctly, your needle is new and appropriate for the fabric type, and adjust tension if necessary. Try a longer stitch length.

Always pre-wash fabric before cutting. If shrinkage occurs unexpectedly, re-wash and dry on a lower heat setting, and allow for extra fabric in future projects.
