How to use it

• On an ecru or grey fabric, topstitching 3 mm from the edge in admiral blue becomes a decorative detail in its own right.
• Sneak by hand before topstitching a collar or placket: with a sharp thread, the slightest shift is visible.
• Fill several bobbins at once to sew a series of kits without interrupting the work.
• End each line with a 1 cm back stitch: on a light background, a knot that is too big would be visible.

Pair it with an ecru cotton canvas or mottled grey jersey, with white buttons for a sailor's feel. A seamstress' ruler will help draw straight topstitching lines.
