Technical characteristics

This universal sewing thread spool contains500 m of polyester(547 yards), at theSilver-grey colour no. 40. Polyester is a common synthetic fiber in sewing thread, and the number 40 is used as a reference to buy the same shade. Darker than the light grays in the range, this shade is close to steel. The spool is sold by the piece.

How to use it

• Raise the presser foot before threading the wire: the tension discs open and the wire is positioned correctly.
• On flannel or wool, choose a slightly larger needle and a longer stitch so that the fabric moves forward without gathering.
• For grey piping, stitch as close as possible to the drawstring with the zipper foot.
• Keep the spool on the spool holder facing the right way up: a loose wire causes curls.

Pair it with grey or black buttons and cotton bias for finishes.
