The Minerva Core Range Broadcloth Fabric in Orange is a versatile, high-quality material designed for sewing enthusiasts ranging from beginners to experienced garment makers. Its primary benefit lies in its stable woven handle, which ensures ease of cutting and sewing for projects like shirts, skirts, and quilts; however, users should note that as a light-to-medium weight fabric, it may require lining for certain sheer-sensitive garment applications.

Yes, its stable and smooth weave makes it one of the easiest fabrics to handle for those new to dressmaking.
Absolutely. Its weight and stability make it an excellent choice for quilting projects.
The fabric has a weight of 130 gsm.
Depending on the garment, lining may be optional, but recommended for lighter colors or structured pieces.
It is recommended to wash this fabric at 40 degrees Celsius.
With a width of 145cm, it provides ample material for most standard adult garment patterns.
Adjust your machine tension and ensure you are using a sharp universal needle; consider using a walking foot for increased fabric control.
Finish all raw edges with a zig-zag stitch or an overlocker immediately after cutting to prevent unraveling.
To prepare the fabric, ensure you pre-wash at 40 degrees to account for any shrinkage before cutting. When pinning, use fine-gauge pins to avoid snagging the weave. Use a standard universal needle (size 70/10 or 80/12) for most sewing machine tasks. For longevity, avoid high-heat tumble drying, as this can degrade the fiber integrity over time. Always store the fabric away from direct sunlight to preserve the vibrancy of the orange hue.
