Yes, but it is recommended to use plenty of pins or fabric clips as the stretch knit texture can be slippery to handle.
Air drying is recommended to maintain the texture of the velour, though low heat drying is generally acceptable for this blend.
As a knit fabric, it is resistant to fraying, but a serger or a zigzag stitch is recommended for finishing internal seams.
Always use a ballpoint or stretch needle to prevent skipped stitches and potential snags in the knit weave.
Identify the nap by rubbing your hand across the fabric; ensure all your pattern pieces are aligned in the same direction.
Use a walking foot or reduce the presser foot pressure if your machine allows to maintain even fabric feeding.
Use a steam iron with a hovering technique or a pressing cloth to restore the pile without crushing it.
To ensure the longevity of your Minerva Core Range fabric, machine wash at 40 degrees Celsius. Avoid using harsh bleaching agents. When pressing, use a low-to-medium heat setting on the reverse side of the fabric or use a pressing cloth to prevent the plush velour pile from flattening or becoming shiny. If you are ordering multiple metres, the fabric is delivered as a single continuous piece. We recommend pre-washing your fabric before cutting, as natural fibers can experience minor shrinkage during the first laundering cycle.
