The Minerva Core Range Sequin ITY Silky Stretch Knit is a premium choice for costume designers, dancers, and fashion enthusiasts who need a fabric that combines high-impact visual appeal with functional elasticity. Offering an all-way stretch for maximum mobility, this fabric is ideal for leotards, stage costumes, and statement garments that require movement and durability. While it provides an exquisite sparkling finish, users should note that the medium-to-heavy weight of 310gsm necessitates careful handling to manage the texture during the sewing process.

Press on the reverse side using a cool iron setting, preferably with a pressing cloth to protect the sequin embellishments.
Switch to a ballpoint or jersey-specific needle and ensure you are using a stretch-compatible stitch setting.
Use a walking foot or reduce the presser foot pressure to allow the knit fabric to feed through evenly.
Ensure you are using a zigzag stitch or an overlock stitch, which allows the seam to expand alongside the fabric.
To ensure the longevity of your garment, always pre-wash the fabric according to the care label, as sequin-embellished fabrics can shift slightly. When sewing, use a ballpoint or stretch needle to prevent snagging the knit base. We recommend using a polyester thread to match the fabric's durability. For seams, a narrow zigzag stitch or an overlocker/serger is preferred to maintain the integrity of the stretch. Avoid high-heat ironing directly on the sequins; instead, press on the reverse side using a cool setting or use a pressing cloth to protect the finish.
