Product Information

Full details

The Minerva Core Range Broadcloth Fabric in Candy Pink is an ideal choice for dressmakers, quilters, and bag makers looking for a stable, high-quality material that is easy to handle. This light to medium-weight broadcloth offers a smooth woven finish that is both breathable and comfortable, making it perfect for everyday garments like shirts, skirts, and pajamas. While its stability makes it excellent for beginners, it is worth noting that broadcloth is a crisp, non-stretch fabric, so it may not be suitable for projects requiring significant drape or elasticity.

FAQs

Is this fabric suitable for a beginner?

Does this fabric have any stretch?

No, this is a standard non-stretch broadcloth.

How wide is the fabric?

The fabric width is 145cm.

Can I use this for quilting?

Absolutely, the 130 gsm weight makes it a staple fabric for quilting projects.

Does the fabric shrink?

Most cotton-based broadcloths have minor shrinkage; it is recommended to wash the fabric before beginning your project.

Is the fabric opaque?

At 130 gsm, it provides good coverage for most garments, though very light-colored garments may still require a lining depending on the intended use.

Troubleshooting

Fabric fraying at raw edges during sewing

Use a serger or a zigzag stitch on the edges immediately after cutting to prevent unravelling.

Needle holes appearing in the fabric

Use a new, sharp universal needle (size 70/10 or 80/12) and ensure it is not dull or blunt.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the best results, always pre-wash your fabric before cutting, as broadcloth can experience minor shrinkage. Use a standard universal needle and a medium-length stitch for most sewing tasks. To maintain the vibrant candy pink color and fabric integrity, machine wash at 40 degrees Celsius. Avoid high-heat tumble drying if possible, and iron on a medium setting while the fabric is slightly damp to eliminate stubborn wrinkles.
