Full details

Designed for apparel makers and crafters, the Minerva Core Range Baby Soft Yarn Dyed Jersey is a versatile, medium-weight fabric perfect for those seeking comfort and durability in their garments. Featuring a blend of 95% cotton and 5% elastane, it provides excellent stretch and recovery for everyday items like T-shirts and loungewear; however, users should note that as a stretch knit, it requires specific needles and stitching techniques to ensure the best results during construction.

FAQs

Is this fabric suitable for baby clothes?

Yes, it is OEKO-TEX certified, meaning it is free from harmful substances and safe for sensitive skin.

How is the fabric sold?

It is supplied per metre and cut as one continuous piece from the roll.

Does this fabric shrink?

Like most cotton-based knits, some minor shrinkage may occur. It is highly recommended to pre-wash before sewing.

Can I use a regular sewing machine?

Yes, but you must use a stretch stitch setting and a ballpoint needle to ensure the seams do not break when stretched.

What is the weight of the fabric?

The fabric is 200 gsm, which is considered a medium weight.

Troubleshooting

Stitches are skipping

Ensure you are using a dedicated ballpoint needle and that the needle is not dull.

Seams are puckering

Adjust your machine tension to be slightly looser or use a walking foot attachment to feed the fabric evenly.

Fabric edges are curling

Use spray starch to temporarily stiffen the edges or use a serger/overlocker to stabilize the seams immediately after cutting.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your Minerva jersey fabric, follow these guidelines:

Pre-washing: Always pre-wash the fabric before cutting to account for any initial shrinkage.
Needle Selection: Use a `Ballpoint` or `Stretch` needle (size 75/11 or 80/12) to prevent the needle from piercing the yarn and creating runs.
Stitch Settings: Use a stretch stitch, such as a narrow zigzag or a lightning bolt stitch, to allow the seams to flex with the fabric.
Washing: Machine wash at 30 degrees Celsius. Avoid high-heat drying to preserve the integrity of the elastane fibers.
Ironing: Use a cool iron setting to avoid damaging the synthetic components.
