Full details

The Minerva Core Range Cotton Poplin in Burgundy is a versatile, high-quality fabric ideal for garment makers, quilters, and crafters looking for a reliable, breathable material. Boasting a crisp, smooth finish, it provides excellent structure for shirts, dresses, and blouses, though its medium-weight nature means it lacks the fluid drape of silk or rayon. With an OEKO-TEX certification, this fabric ensures a safe, sustainable choice for both adults and children’s apparel.

FAQs

Is this fabric suitable for quilting?

Yes, its tight weave and medium weight make it an excellent choice for quilting blocks and backing.

Does the fabric shrink?

As with most cotton fabrics, some shrinkage may occur. We recommend pre-washing before sewing.

Can I buy more than one metre as a single piece?

Yes, all multiple-metre orders are cut as one continuous piece of fabric.

What is the weight of the fabric?

This fabric has a light-to-medium weight of 121 gsm.

Is it safe for children's clothing?

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

What is the best temperature to wash the fabric?

It is recommended to wash the fabric at 40 degrees Celsius.

Troubleshooting

Fabric fraying excessively at edges

Use a zigzag stitch or an overlocker to finish seam allowances immediately after cutting.

Needle skipping stitches

Ensure you are using a sharp, new universal needle and that the tension is set for medium-weight fabrics.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Easy to sew and press due to the stable weave
Breathable and comfortable for skin-contact garments
Environmentally conscious OEKO-TEX certification
Continuous length when ordering multiple metres
Vibrant and deep color saturation

Cons

Not suitable for garments requiring heavy drape or flow
Cotton poplin has a natural tendency to crease
Requires pre-washing to account for potential shrinkage

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your project remains in top condition, prepare the fabric by pre-washing it at 40 degrees Celsius, which mimics the long-term care instructions and stabilizes the grain. When sewing, use a sharp universal needle (size 70/10 or 80/12) and a medium-length stitch for best results. For pressing, use a steam iron on the 'cotton' setting. Avoid over-handling the fabric during the sewing process to minimize wrinkling. For garment construction, standard polyester thread is recommended to match the longevity of the poplin.
