Minerva Core Range Glossy Activewear Lycra Four Way Stretch Knit Fabric Grape

Our Nylon and Spandex blend Lycra Fabric is an all way stretch, i.e. it stretches length ways, width ways and on the bias (on the diagonal). Because of its unique stretch properties, this fabric is suitable for swimsuits, biking shorts, leotards and dance and stage wear... practically any sewing pattern that requires an all way stretch fabric. It is a good choice for active wear and anything that needs freedom of movement. It is shiny on one side and matt on the reverse and is available in a range of bright and muted shades. Sewing Tip: If your sewing machine does not have a triple stretch stitch, we recommend using a stretch sewing thread such as Mettler Seraflock for a true stretch stitch your stitches will stretch with the fabric!
