The Minerva Core Range Brushed Texture Rib Stretch Knit Fabric is a versatile, medium-weight textile designed for dressmakers and sewists looking to add professional-grade trims and structural details to their garments. Crafted from a blend of polyester, viscose, and elastane, this fabric offers excellent stretch and recovery, making it ideal for neckbands, cuffs, and waistbands; however, its distinctive ribbed texture may require careful alignment during pattern layout to ensure a uniform finish.

While primarily designed for trims, cuffs, and bands, it can be used for fitted garments if you prefer a textured, ribbed look.
As a knit fabric, it does not fray like a woven, but it is best to finish raw edges with a serger or zig-zag stitch.
It is recommended to air dry to maintain the integrity of the stretch fibers, though it is washable at 40°C.
Always use a ballpoint or stretch needle to prevent snagging or damaging the knit construction.
The fabric is 160cm wide, providing ample space for most trim cutting layouts.
Yes, it is part of the Minerva Core Range and comes in various colors including Pink, Navy, Royal Blue, Brown, Claret, Khaki, Mint, and Cerise.
Use a walking foot or reduce the presser foot pressure on your machine to ensure even feeding.
Switch to a fresh ballpoint or jersey needle and ensure your stitch length is set appropriately for knit fabrics.
Use plenty of pins or clips to hold the ribbing evenly while stretching it to match the garment opening.
To ensure the longevity of your Minerva Core Range fabric, always pre-wash the material before cutting to account for any initial shrinkage. Use a ballpoint or stretch-specific needle when sewing to avoid damaging the fibers, and consider using a walking foot if you find the fabric layers are shifting.
