Our advice

• Use it in contrasting stitching on a grey or white fabric: the stitches then draw a sharp graphic detail.
• To sew an intense blue, avoid placing it next to a thread that is too dark on the same piece: the two contradict each other.
• On stockinette stitch, use a slightly stretchy stitch so that the seam follows the fabric.
• Test the point on a scrap before the work: such a bright blue reveals the slightest irregularity.

This color goes well with a white or mustard yellow ribbon, and with mother-of-pearl buttons for a navy touch.
