Minerva Core Range Delicate Lace Fabric - Black

No, this is a non-stretch fabric, which is perfect for maintaining the shape of structured overlays.

It is best used as an overlay on top of a sturdier base fabric, as it is too lightweight and sheer to be used alone.

Hand wash in cool water with mild detergent, or use a delicate machine cycle inside a protective mesh laundry bag.

Avoid direct heat. Always use a press cloth and a low-temperature setting to prevent damage to the delicate lace pattern.

Use a fine-gauge sharp needle, such as a size 60/8 or 70/10, to minimize the risk of snagging the lace threads.

Place a piece of tissue paper underneath the lace while sewing and tear it away gently after the seam is completed.

Adjust your stitch length slightly longer and ensure your needle is sharp and undamaged; consider using a basting spray to stabilize the lace to your base fabric before sewing.
