Minerva Core Range Sequin Soft Velvet Stretch Knit Fabric - Bottle Green on Black

While the fabric is beautiful, the sequins and stretch can make it slightly challenging for absolute beginners. It is recommended for those with some experience in sewing knit fabrics.

Direct heat will damage the sequins and crush the velvet. If you must press, use a low temperature, a press cloth, and work from the underside of the fabric.

It is perfect for party dresses, occasion skirts, dancewear, cosplay, and other high-impact, statement garments.

A twin needle works well for stretch knits, but because of the sequin density, you may find a hand-stitched blind hem to be more effective and gentler on the garment.

Yes, it features a good amount of stretch for comfort and ease of fit, which is ideal for form-fitting garment designs.

Ensure you are using a stretch needle and avoid sewing directly over dense sequin clusters; use a hand-sewing needle to remove sequins from the seam allowance if necessary.

Adjust your machine's thread tension or lengthen the stitch size; a walking foot can also reduce drag and improve seam consistency.

Avoid ironing the right side of the fabric; use a steaming method from the wrong side or use a pressing cloth to gently steam out creases without flattening the pile.
