Technical characteristics

Thispolyester sewing threadis sold in500m reel, or about 547 yards, at theJade n° 714. Polyester makes for a smooth, even thread that is suitable for machine stitching as well as hand sewing. A universal thread is suitable for most common fabrics: cottons, blends, linings or flowing fabrics. The large yardage reduces bobbin changes on long serges and hems.

Directions for use

• To make the seam blend in with the fabric, choose a thread that is slightly darker than the fabric: the thread always looks a little lighter when stitched.
• Place the 500m spool on the vertical spool holder or with its matching tip to prevent the line from rubbing and twisting.
• Test stitch on a scrap of fabric and adjust the tension before stitching the final piece.
• Use this blue-green for decorative stitching on light denim or white linen, where it stands out without being garish.

Pair it with universal machine needles and glass-headed pins for a smooth stitching. A set of empty bobbins will also allow you to prepare several windings in advance.
