FAQs

Is this fabric suitable for full-length wedding gowns?

Yes, it is excellent for bridalwear, particularly as an overlay or for decorative panels like yokes and sleeves.

Does the fabric stretch?

The lace is designed for shape retention, meaning it does not have significant mechanical stretch.

Can I iron this fabric?

Yes, but use a press cloth and a low-heat setting to prevent damage to the corded textures.

Is the fabric sold by the bolt or the metre?

This fabric is supplied per metre, allowing you to order the exact amount required for your specific pattern.

Will I need to line this fabric?

Due to the openwork nature of the lace, a lining is highly recommended for most garment applications to provide coverage.

What is the fabric width?

The fabric measures 146cm wide.

Troubleshooting

Fabric snagging during sewing

Ensure your machine needle is new and sharp. Use a zigzag stitch or a walking foot to prevent threads from catching on the feed dogs.

Raw edges fraying

Use a French seam or bind the edges with a lightweight coordinating ribbon or bias tape to neatly conceal the lace ends.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High-quality decorative corded surface
  • Excellent drape for bridal and special occasion wear
  • Durable enough for repeated wear and shape retention
  • Machine washable for convenient maintenance
  • Crease-resistant for polished appearance

Cons

  • Requires precise cutting due to the openwork pattern
  • Needs careful seam finishing to hide raw edges
  • Not suitable for heavy-duty or utilitarian projects

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.
