Directions for use

• Unwind a few inches of thread and lay them on your fabric in daylight: a bright pink looks darker when sewn in tight rows.
• Use it topstitched over ecru linen or denim to create a contrasting edging on a pocket or placket.
• Test stitch on a fall before you start, then adjust the tension: colored stitching is unforgiving of irregularities.
• For a visible frame, keep this thread: pink easily spots the clip markers and gathers.

Pair it with a white cotton poplin or pearl grey jersey, with tailor's chalk and machine needles adapted to your fabric.
