Gütermann Universal Sewing Thread - 1,000 m - Calico - No. 186

This Gütermann universal sewing thread in calico no. 186 is reminiscent of unbleached cotton canvas: a soft, slightly golden sand beige that harmonizes with natural fabrics such as linen, cotton or canvas.

Features

Made ofpolyester, this wire is wound on a1,000 m large reel(1,094 yds): a reserve suitable for patterns that are repeated, such as tote bags, linings or linen garments. Polyester gives a smooth and resistant thread, which goes smoothly through the machine. Theissue 186identifies the colour at Gütermann and allows it to be repurchased identically.

Use cases

• On linen or cotton canvas, a warm neutral yarn camouflages better than a gray yarn, which stands out like a shadow.
• For a quick overcasting before fitting, use the longest stitch of your machine (4 to 5 mm): you remove it in a single movement.
• On a thick canvas, switch to a stronger needle so that the thread doesn't fray with each pass.

Pair it with an ecru cotton canvas and a beige twill ribbon for sober and coherent finishes.
