Minerva Core Range Soft Touch Crepe Fabric - Lemon Yellow

Yes, for most colors, the fabric is opaque enough for skirts and trousers without a lining, though lighter colors may require a slip depending on your preference.

It is better suited for fluid, soft-tailored designs rather than highly structured, sharp-edged blazers.

The Minerva Core Range Soft Touch Crepe is a woven fabric and does not feature built-in mechanical stretch.

A zigzag stitch, overlocker (serger), or French seams work very well with this fabric to prevent fraying.

As a 100% polyester fabric, it is highly colorfast, though it is always best practice to wash in cool water.

Ensure your needle is sharp and of a fine gauge (70/10). Check your needle plate and feed dogs for any burrs that could catch the fibers.

Adjust your machine tension slightly lower and ensure you are using a light-weight thread. A walking foot can also help maintain even pressure.

Always purchase the required yardage for a project in a single order to ensure all fabric comes from the same production batch.
