Setup, Compatibility & Care
To begin working with the Minerva Core Range Corded Lace, pre-wash the fabric according to the 40C care instructions to ensure any minor shrinkage is addressed. When cutting, ensure that your pattern pieces are aligned with the lace's repeat pattern to maintain symmetry. Use a sharp, fine-point needle (such as a 70/10 or 80/12 universal needle) to prevent pulling the delicate threads. For seam finishes, consider a French seam or a narrow zigzag stitch to secure the raw edges of the openwork. Always press using a press cloth and a low-heat setting to avoid melting or distorting the lace fibers.
