How to use it

• On white, a pale blue thread gives an almost invisible seam, with a slight fresh sheen.
• For tonal topstitching on sky blue chambray or poplin, stitch 1mm from the edge for a clean line.
• Check the color in daylight: pastels look grayer under artificial lighting.

Pair it with a white cotton bias and a satin ribbon in a close blue for neat finishes.
